At SRI's AI Center, we have an Ethernet with over 20 Symbolics and
Xerox Lisp machines, 2 VAXes running VMS/Eunice, one Sun 2/170 file
server, two 2/50's and other bits and pieces.  Our collision rate
seems pretty low (less than 1 per 1000 packets), and the Suns talk
with no problem (or apparent slow down) to the VAXes and Lisp
machines. However, the 2/170 will sometimes choke on heavy output
from the diskless 2/50s, for example when a 4 Mb process dumps core.
We then get NFS not ready messages, but things recover within less
than a minute.
