I have an IBM PC RT running AIX 2.2.1 that I would like to connect to our
Ethernet network.  I've run an Ethernet transceiver drop cable (2 10 meter
sections) to a port on a DELNI, and the RT TCP/IP configuration files
have been properly set up (as far as I can tell).  There are VAXen on the
Ethernet that run SRI Multinet (TCP/IP), and one of them is set up as my
domain name server.

When the RT is started, it tries to configure the ethernet device (net0).
After a period of time, I get a console message saying that net0 has timed
out, and that the device has been removed from the configuration.

Has anyone done what I'm attempting?  Any information would be greatly
appreciated.  Thanks in advance.
