:: net0: transmit timeout 8200: shutting down device
:: telnet: connect: connection timed out
::
:: I have added (using 'devices' command) net0 and pty's, and configured
:: the following files:
::	 /etc/rc.include
::	 /etc/hosts
::	 /etc/rc.tcpip
::					      A. Elgouri

Few things to try out:
1. Interrupt vector setting on your card and the one you used in the 
   devices command. The boards come with a setting of 9, and the devices
   command comes up with "3" when adding the net0 device. Make sure they
   match.
2. Edit the file /etc/net to comment the stanza corresponding to net0,
   and add the line (also edit the ipnumber):
       rip = input, output
    as the fourth if it's not already there. Run netconfig to configure
    the interfaces. This is usually done in your rc.tcpip file. Also,
    have you added the appropriate :
	ifconfig net0 `hostname` ...
    line in your rc.tcpip?
3. Bad cable/connector. Make sure the connection is ok. If you're using
   a DESTA, check the cable between the transceiver and the board. 

Hope it helps.
