Has anyone out there successfully configured an IBM PC/RT with two 
ethernet cards so as to function as a gateway?  I'm trying to do so,
following a handout from IBM supposedly used in one of their RT
workshops.  So far no go.

We're running AIX 2.1

My configuration is as follows:

	       Board 0        Board 1

net          0              1
RSA        98000          90000
REA        99fff          91fff
BRSA       9a000          92000
BREA       9ffff          97fff

interrupt     3              5


We've edited /etc/net to include the two stanzas for the controllers and
made sure we had the requisite number of blank lines in there too.

We've also modified /etc/master as explained in our docs and rebuilt
the kernel, installed it and rebooted.  all to no avail.

When the machine comes up, we can ping net1 but not net0.

We've tried swapping boards, making sure we reset interrupts and
addresses.  again, no go.

The machine can come up with either the net0 or net1 board inplace and
it works, but when both are installed, it does not work.

Any hints as to where we might look, especially as to where ithe IBM
docs might be mistaken, would be especially appreciated.
