Does anyone know if it is now possible to run 2.2.0 xenix and a
Micom-Interlan Ethernet card at the same time?  As near as we've
been able to determine, everybody running Micom-Interlan has
been blocked from upgrading to 2.2.0 xenix due to the existing
2.1.3 driver not being compatible with the new os.  I know we have
talked about this before on the net, but I'm just hoping that
someone has a solution to this problem by now.  Certainly we've
heard nothing from Micom-Interlan about this.

We have great expectations about getting new software for these
boards; we have to reboot the PC's often when they quit talking
to the ethernet.  They do tend to utter pleasing messages such as
    "NP600 unit 0: tcp_pull out of band" and
    "rcpy: protocol screwup. Lost connection."
when they fail.  We have not had any problems restoring service
after these failures; problem goes away with a reboot.  This happens
about 3 times a week.
