I'm having one heck of a time getting the 3c505 packet driver (from
drivers.arc version 5) to work with my AT&T 6386.  I don't know what's
going wrong.  I have the short card 3c505 Assy 2227-02 Rev D.  I have
the I/O port set at 0x300h, the base memory set at DC000.  I have
the driver hanging off of interrupt 0x7eh and using IRQ 3.  I try running
the 3c505.com program as such:

3c505 0x7e 3 0x300

It response with the packet intro and then...

Packet deiver loaded at sement 11E5
Packet interrupt number 0x7E (126)
Interrrupt number 0x3 (3)
I/O port 0x300 (768)
Memory address 0xD000 (53248)

And then it hangs...I sat here and waited for a 1/2 hour for the packet
driver to initialize the board with no success.  I end up having to reboot
the machine.  Has anyone gotten the driver to work?  If so I would
appreciate your input.  Help lift me up from my ignorance.  I'm stuck
in a land of 505 cards on a novell network.  We use Interlan's Micom
board to bridge between novell packets and TCP packets and the telnet
emulator that came with Micom dies after the 502nd press of the
return key!  I need telnet to get onto my Sun 4 so I can do my work.  So,
please, please help this poor unfortunate.  I'll summarize all my responses
and post it for everyone.

Thanks!

See ya...
