I had a complex but stable configuration on my 386 in which I used a
3c503 card to communicate with the world. A disk crash led to DOS 5.00
installation (replacing 4.01), which left me short of room, so
I tried 386MAX for the first time. All worked well until I tried
loading 386MAX in config.sys (even without using it to load drivers
or TSRs) and then loading the ethernet software. Interestingly, the
machine will cooperate for a few minutes, and then hangs (not even
alt-ctrl-del will reset).

It can't be just me, right? Will someone who has forced cooperation 
between the two please contact me (or post)? Thanks a heap.
