Oh yeah, tried that as well.

Here at home I have a DELNI (a DEC AUI hub of sorts). It wouldn't work
hooked up to the delni. It wouldn't work if I had the break-out box hooked
up, but the aui cable not hooked up. It wouldn't work if I had the break-out
box _not_ hooked up. It wouldn't work with the break-out box hooked up to
a transciever.

It also wouldn't work in a different state with a different break-out box,
with whatever networking the guy uses at his place.

Through all of that, the symptoms didn't change: ledma: See your doctor!

Plus, one of the three motherboards had an old PROM: 2.14 vs 2.25 on the
other two.

Is it possible that this is an OS bug? I can't figure out any other reason
for these problems.
