	Hello all, I have picked up a Cabletron ether, it is 8-bit and is 
currently set thus:

	port: 300
	Irq : 5
	Dma : 1

	the driver inits and finds the card, somtimes the shell will load 
quickly, finding the server and other times is pauses and doens't find the 
server. ( Server is novell 3.11/20 user other 2 clients find the server with 
no problems, and its not the cable as the same plug is the 3rd clients' cable.)

	I have talked to cabletron, they say to use the E10ipx.com that I 
downloaded from them - it does function, however I can only get 18K/sec and
22K/sec reads and writes according to norton sysinfo(when it does load). The
other 2 stations that I have been benchmarking to find this problem get 
somthing around 290K/s and 312K/s to the server. ( Benchmarking the same drive
with the same user logged in.)

	This card was installed on an ipx/tcp-ip net, and a couple of jumpers
are simply solder stripes. If anyone has ideas or help for me, please mail me.
