Does anyone know of a fix for an incompatibility between MacTCP
and a Cabletron E6000 NuBus Card. Here's a summary of the problem:

MacIIcx, Cabletron E600 Card, MacTCP Drivers installed and properly
configured.

Applications: MacX and Intercon's TCP/Connect II-A (MacTCP version)

Problem: the E6000 card seems to jam up whenever a large ammount of data
starts being shipped back to the mac. (For example a ps -aex on a 60+ user
machine)

Tech Support: Intercon claims MacTCP and the E6000 don't work together.
Said that Cabletron is working on it. Cabletron tech support has never heard
of MacTCP but did offer a revision of the drivers numbered 2.1 (when I 
bought the card a month ago, it was on rev 1.09, which is a pretty big jump.)

Any information you may have will be greatly appreciated.
