There is one other machine, a color classic. I suspect there may be the
usual appletalk chatter that the machine generates on its own, but nothing
besides that.
I may not have made it clear, but it doesn't crash from outside chatter,
even if I try to ping the netbsd box from the Color Classic (which doesn't
work) It only crashes when I try to send something out through the ethernet
card in the MacII(netbsd).
