Hi Netters!
   I looked around for a good newsgroup to post in regarding this and
ibmpc.hardware came closest.. so here goes...
   I have a 486 Machine and added a 3c503 card in there.  I was trying to
use the public domain telnet (NCSA 2.3b10).  The jumper settings on the
card indicate its using I/O Port 300H and its using Memory dc000.
   In the config file of telnet, I have indicated these values and also
indicated wire=thin (since I am using thin ethernet to connect) and 
interrupt=5.
   Each time I try telnet, it freezes up.. doesnt even let me out of telnet.
I have tried basically all combinations of I/O address vs Memory Address.
I have also tried a number of 3c503 cards.  I have had friends work their
503's without any problem; they do not even install a driver for it!
   My question is.... Could it be the interrupts getting messed up?  And
if so, how would I solve the problem?  Do PC's normally have jumpers on the
motherboard to setup interrupts? or is my pc just not compatible?
   Thanks a lot,
   Email will be much appreciated!
