With some telephone assistance from Cabletron technical support I have
learned that not one but several different variables in the CONFIG.TEL
file of the NCSA package need to be changed as follows...

        hardware=packet
        interrupt=0
        address=0
        ioaddr=0

I had incorrectly assumed that these settings would correspond to the
jumper settings on the E2020 interface card.  That is not true because
the Cabletron card uses the generic packet driver rather than one that
is specific to a particular card.  Works fine now!
