Dear someone who can help me,

I am facing a problem while starting MacBSD after configuration of
network card.
If you have time, please give me help.

I have an "APPLE ETHERNET NB TWISTED-PAIR CARD 1993" which uses "SONIC-T
DP 83934CVUL-20".  It is recognized as sn0 while booting.
My computer is Macintosh IIci /w Quantum Lightning ProDrive 730MB, 32MB
memory and Kanji Talk 7.5.1 as system.  My version of BSD is 1.3.
I had nothing trouble while booting MacBSD till I setup Networkcard.

I configured as below.
/etc/rc.conf
	hostname="ci"
	domainname="bekkoame.ne.jp"
	defaultroute=""

/etc/resolv.conf
	domain bekkoame.ne.jp
	nameserver 202.11.252.2
	lookup file bind

/etc/hosts
	127.0.0.1 	localhost 	localhost.bekkoame.ne.jp
	192.168.0.20 	ci 	ci.bekkoame.ne.jp

/etc/ifconfig.sn0
	inet 192.168.0.20 netmask 255.255.255.0
*I also tried "192.168.0.20 netmask 0xffffff00", but in vain.

remark
Bekkoame.ne.jp is my ISP.
202.11.252.2 is DNS Server of ISP.
I'm using dialup router which has autoNAT and DHCP Server function.
Those functions are active.
Router address is 192.168.0.1(default).
Other computer addresses are automatically distrubuted by the router.
So my network is as below.
	Router			192.168.0.1
	NT4.0Server(Compaq)	(usually 192.168.0.2)
	Windows95(Compaq)
	Macintosh(Pioneer MPC-LX200)
	Macintosh(LC630)

I tried to inactivate DHCP Server, but nothing has changed.
I think /etc/ifconfig.sn0 is a trouble maker. The conditions change
every time I change this file.
When I delete this file.  Nothing will ocour.  But I cannot use network.
After I set this file, booting hangs.
When I set all network extension files, booting makes roop forever.
To change the configuration, I have to disconnect the ethercard after
facing trouble.
I tried all slots, but in vain.
I've checked Supported Ethernet Card list, but I could not recognize
which is my card.
Is Kanji Talk 7.5.1 supported?

I'm not sure how many days I've wasted!
Help me!  Please!
