Configuration:
Running SCO ODT 1.0 (Which includes DOS Merge from Locus)
Compaq Deskpro 386/20, 16 MB ram, 300MB HD
Paradise 16bit VGA1024 512KB (anybody got a 1024x768 driver for SCO?)
3Com 3C503 Ethernet (sdevice entry: e3B0 Y 1 5 1 9 310 31e 0 0)
	(No DMA, I/O at 310 to 31e, IRQ 9)
Serial Port (Microsoft Mouse) tty1A
Internal USR 2400 Modem tty2A

Now, I've installed a Thomas Conrad 16 bit Arcnet Card (TC6045)
I've set the switches for:
IRQ 10 (which seems to be free), Memory Base D000:0, 
no memory mapped I/O registers and of course the network address

Start up DOS Merge with "dos +aarcnet"
where arcnet is defined (in /etc/dosdev) as:
arcnet d ..10.d0000-d3fff.

I can run TCCHELP, and it finds the card, correctly reports the 
memory address and network address.

When I run IPX, it reports back OK,
but NET3 says:
No file servers found. :-(

The same H/W and S/W work when the machine is booted under DOS.

I wish I could get this working, then I wouldn't have to reboot in DOS
just to read the friggin' e-mail on the LAN.

Comments anyone? (Please E-mail in as our expiry time is extremely
short!)
