I ran into this problem when trying to communicate with an RT through
a WellFleet router.  

What happens is that the Token Ring card in the RT drops packets
sent to it with a MAC address begining with 000. . .

I was told that this was fixed with later versions of the microcode.
Does anyone have the updated microcode and would it be possible to down
load it into the card?

Changing the MAC address on the router doesn't work, because it generates
its own MAC addr.  when IPX routing is enabled.

					Thanx,
