We can't run Interactive Unix 3.2 Version 2.0.2 with a 3com Etherlink-2 board. When you start the system with networking enabled (ie. telinit 3) and insert the ethernet connector, the system locks up. It echos characters but won't do anything else. A 3com card works fine in a Compaq on the same net. A Western Digital card works fine in the problem box. Our 3com rep thinks that the problem may be the bios on the system. It's an Intec (Schwab) clone with the A(merican) M(egatrends) I(nc) bios (version unknown). Has anyone else seen anything like this. If so, please reply via email.

Looks like it might be your system. The system I am typing this on is a Dell model 310 running Dell UNIX 1.1 which is closely based on ISC's UNIX 3.2.1. I have a 3com etherlink-II card in it - in fact this typing is actually being done on another system (dell.dell.com) that I access through the ethernet via this card and rlogin (or telnet, depending on my mood :-). It works fine for me. Sounds like it is something on your system.... Randy Davis UUCP: dell.dell.com!rjd
