We have noticed that DELNI's have some non-intuitive limitations
on cable length.  Could this perhaps have some bearing on your
problem?  Unlike other multiport transceivers, the rule
for DELNI's is that the transceiver cable length limitation
of 40m (vs. 50m for other devices) applies to the sum of
lengths of the drop to the DELNI and the drop from the DELNI
to the host system.

It is also against the rules to plug one DELNI into another one
unless that DELNI is NOT connected to an Ether.
