I let it sit for 10 minutes or so. It wasn't slow, it never did anything 
more. No big deal (for me) though. Fedora 13 gave me a little trouble on 
my VMware setup, but I'm up and going now. No openssl warning on 
connecting. I'm running the very low tech script below. I'll throw a 
couple sporadic large file transfers in there as well.
How does it handle failed network connections? Does it try and 
reconnect, or should I put in a cron job that checks a ping and then 
restarts the connection if it is down?

for i in {1..50000}
do
    date >>/script/pingcheck
    ping -c 2 10.85.0.1 >>/script/pingcheck
    sleep 30
done
