Thanks for the reply Joe, it's been the ONLY one I've recieved
anywhere on usenet.

Tech support at Morse Telecomm suggested I pull off the IDENET kernel
and boot with it.  THAT one sees my 3c503 (and Kingston NE2K, for that
matter).  I still cannot get any of my own kernels to boot from the
hard drive.  Someone else suggested I make a boot floppy (make zdisk)
which I did - the system boots fine.  It still can't handle it if I
add it to LILO (locks up).  It was suggested that I reinstall LILO.
Shudder.

BTW, I checked to see if I was using a newer-model 3c503 (with the new
MAC addresses) and I'm not, but I appreciate the thought.
