Umm... As far as I know, release 1.x of the starlan drivers (which is
what he has on the 3b2) will *not* talk to 3.x (which is all that you
can get for the 386).  They can co-exist on the same wire and there
is a software-bridge product available, but to use rfs he's going to
have to upgrade to release 3.2 starlan on the 3B2.
