I just can't seem to get Telnet to work directly with my ethernet card.
The best I could get was a connection to a remote host.  If I called
telnet without a hostname (which should start server mode), the machine
locks up or reboots.  What am I doing wrong?  I suspect an interrupt
conflict, but the same thing happens with no other cards in the machine.
playing with the specification section of the config.tel file almost
always locks the machine.

Particulars:  80286 machine, 3Com 3c503 Ethernet card.  Also installed
are a memory board, serial/parallel board, 2nd serial card, and bus mouse
board (set to IRQ5).

Pertinent portion of config.tel file:

hardware=3c503
address=dc000
interrupt=3
ioaddr=310
wire=thick

Any pointers appreciated.

Eric
