I don't know if it was clear in this discussion, but the Proteon
Ethernet in question is not directly connected to the MT-800.  The
Proteon is connected to a DELNI which is connected to Thickwire.  There
are two Cabletron's involved, one is also directly connected to the
Thickwire, the other one is on the far side of a fiber Ethernet
extender. 

Does the AC/DC coupling problem apply in this case?  I was under the
impression that that would only affect the communications between the
Ethernet controller and Ethernet transceiver.

As as correction to Scott's original posting, the Proteon Ethernet board
in question is a p4213 Interlan NI3010A, not a p4214.
