I just stumbled on this..

I'm running 1.4U on my 3600 and it generally works fine.

But I did notice that sometimes it gives:

qe0: xmit logic died, resetting...

Then takes a little while and comes back on the net again.

I wondered why this happened as it didn't seem to be related to
load and such. I can let it do big FTP transfers all day without 
getting the message (and at about 300kbyte/sec I'm not complaining!)

It's hooked up to a 10/100 ethernet switch with a 10baseT transceiver.

Then I tried to ping another machine on my network, but it was down (no
VAX ;-) and suddenly I got the 'qe0: xmit logic died, resetting...' again.

Interesting!

I tried it a few times and it always seems to do this. When a destination
machine is UP: no problem, but when a machine is DOWN then I get the
xmit logic error..

I haven't dug into the code yet, but I though I'd just ask the 'collective'
here to see if anyone has a (possible) explanation..

Thanx!

								Bye, Arno.
