Earlier this week, I posted a message requesting help networking PCs and a
Sun Sparc2.  The problem has been solved.  Apparently the installers of
the 3COM boards in the PCs left switched "on" a debugging signal that
should have been 'off'.  This confused the PCs only a little, so that
pc-to-pc communication worked pretty well, but confused the SUN a great
deal.  After setting the 3COM boards correctly, PC to Sun comunication
works great: a 2 meg file can be transferred in 12 seconds from the PC to
the Sun.

Thanks for the replies.
