I know you don't want to hear this, and I never wanted to hear it when someone told me but, you should really get rid of those Omninet cards. On our last few conversations, Corvus gets increasingly difficult to work with, not to mention that as other hardware gets faster, the Omninet cards start to show their lack of speed. We are just now dumping our corvus cards and replacing them with Tiara Arcnet ($78) and Lan Master Arcnet ($90) cards. I would strongly encourage you to do the same. Funding is a real problem here, but we finally needed to move these machines and now seemed like a reasonable time, in spite of the cost, to more them onto our other Arcnet network.
