One possible cuprit would the the interrupt level of the ethernet card
conflicting with that of the COM port you are using.  I am not positive
that the AT&T 6300's COM ports would use the same interrupt level, but
on the IBM PC & PC/ATs COM1 is IRQ 4 and COM2 is IRQ 3.  You would probably
want to use IRQ 2 on the ethernet cards unless that conflicted with
some other piece of hardware in the machine. (3270 emulation cards for example)
I have not tried your exact configuration, but this is the type of problem
you run accross from time to time when dealing the PC networks.
