We had a similar problem with finger-pointing here at Baylor
with a TCP/IP interface for our IBM mainframe.  Turned out that
the cause was the ether-to-channel interface on the IBM (NOT an
IBM product) which had a fit every time it received a packet
type it did not understand - like 809b.  The problem was solved
by using a pc program which allowed us to watch the ether
packets and trace the culprit down.  We haven't had any problems
since, with 5 Mac II's running telnet almost all day on the
ether and about 300 macs/Appletalk PC's internetted over our
ether backbone.
