     I'm wondering if anyone else has had problems with IBM model 30-286
     workstations getting connected to the LAN.  We are running Advanced
     NetWare 286, v.2.15 on an IBM model 80.  We are using IBM token-ring
     cards on all workstations and we have everything from very old PC/XTs
     to PS/2 model 50s and 60s, along with this one model 30-286.

     I'd appreciate hearing from anyone who has seen this or anything
     similar.  Unfortuantely, I only have this one 30-286, so I don't know
     if the problem is particular to this workstation or this model in
     general.  I've run the IBM workstation diagnostics and the token-ring
     adapter diagnostics and everything comes out clean.

I seem to remember that IBM had problems with its token ring cards working
in the 30-286.  I think this is one of those problems.  I think they have
fixed the problem now and you should contact IBM for advice.
