Basically, it seems A/UX can't deal with much Ethernet traffic. If your Ethernet is at all heavily used, the system will print the first two messages and bring the Ethernet card off-line. Perhaps that is the source of your third message. I don't know how to fix it, I'm just waiting for a fix from Apple. (From what I hear A/UX 1.1 fixes this, but when that will be out is another question...) -- William Kucharski ARPA: kucharsk@uts.amdahl.com UUCP: ...!{ames,decwrl,sun,uunet}!amdahl!kucharsk Disclaimer: The opinions expressed above are my own, and may not agree with those of any other sentient being, not to mention those of my employer.
