I am working with a department here on campus that has the following problem.

They are trying to use Clarkson Packet drivers (ver. 9.x), the BYU packet 
driver version of IPX, and NET3.  They are using the packet driver version of 
NCSA Telnet and FTP.  Everything works ok on the IBM PS/2 55's that they have, 
using 3Com 3C523 ethernet cards.  I run into a problem with the IBM PS/2 30 286
machines and some Wang PCs.  These computers are all using 3Com 3C503 ehthernet
cards that are setup with interupt 3 and io address 300h.  The IPX that was 
generated from the Novell supplied software works fine on these PCs.  They are 
using Netware 2.15c.

Here's what I load on the computers.

3C503 -n -w 0x62 3 0x300 1
IPXBYU
NET3

The packet driver executes without any errors, as does IPXBYU.  However, when I
execute NET3 the computer locks up.  I then need to do a hard boot.  THe 3C503 
packet driver is version 9.4.0.

Has this happened to anyone else?  Does any one have any suggestions?
