[comp.sys.sun] Twisted pair ethernet xvr on Suns...

I have a peculiar problem.  I am trying to connect 10BaseT twisted pair
ethernet transceivers to our Suns.  I can connect the Suns (a 4/260 and a
4/330) up to a DELNI with no problems, but I cannot get them to
communicate with a twisted pair transceiver - the link light does not come
on and the Sun thinks the transceiver is disconnected.

I am beginning to think that maybe these transceivers draw too much power
for the Suns to handle?  Anyone else seen this type of behaviour?
