	I installed popmail-3.0 on a IBM XT runing 3.0 using the 3c503
driver with no problems.  The machine I had a problems with is a 386 100%  
IBM compatible running DOS 5.0 which has a 3c503 interface board.  When I 
try to instal the 3c503 driver using:

  3c503 0x7e 3 0x300 1

the following message is returned: 

  Packet driver for 3-Com 3C503, version 9.4.0
  Portions Copyright 1989, Robert C. Clements, K1BC
  Packet driver skeleton copyright 1988-91, Russell Nelson
  This program is free software; see the file COPYING for details.
  NO WARRANTY; see the file COPYING for details

  Packet driver is at segment 0D4B
  Using 80[123]86 I/O instructions.
  Shared RAM on 3C503 card is defective or there is an address conflict.
  Interrupt number 0x3 (3)
  I/O port 0x300 (768)
  Using the built-in transceiver (thinwire)
  My Ethernet address is 02:60:8C:4C:FC:57

I tried the 3Com board on the PC and it worked fine. Then I changed the 
memory base address trying each segment number (c800, cc00, d800 and dc00)
to check for a conflict on the 386, no success.

Any information as to why this isn't working is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
