aha. Im using a AUI->BNC transceiver. I didnt know that this is not
recommended (I of course dont own the Sparc-Manual ...). whats the
reason that this doesnt work well??

thanks for telling me. Will buy a AUI->TP transceiver .. I cannot mail
order here from austria I guess but thats no problem.

(Ahh I remember now that I bought for my Sparc-IPC webserver a AUI->TP
transceiver and never had any le0:overflow errors.. but this transceiver
here was on stock)

thanks,
chrisjm.
