Implemented our new Pentium server using the 3Com's FastEtherlink XL adapter 
(3C905-TX).  Worked great in a test environment.  Put it in production over 
the weekend & all was well.  However after our 300+ users started hammering it 
the server stopped communicating to the network by lunchtime this past Monday. 
 The server was fine, I could toggle to any of it's console screens, just no 
communications.  Monitor showed me the ECB count was rising steadily.  
Restarted server & experienced the same problem in 5 min., however none of the 
monitor stats for the adapter was changing.  Had to drop back to our old 
server for production purposes.

Anyone else using this adapter in an NW4.1 environment?  I'd be interesting in 
hearing your experiences to help me sort this out.  Currently runing latest 
NLM's found in LANDR9 & latest drivers from 3COM.

TIA,
Dan Rockwell
