We are having serious problems with 386/IX on a PS/2 model 80.
We have 3 systems with the same configuration which are runing 24 hours 
a day. This systems are frequently crashing. We are getting the the following
panic:
	- Panic: 0x0e
	  This error is from a instabile TCP/IP and is acknowledge by
	  interactive. 3 months ago and until no now still no bug fix!
	- Panic: Panic flags set on 17 (ESDI controler) track XXXX.
	- Some time the system just hangs. 
These systems are communication front ends for a mainframe and must by
up 24 hours a day! Over the last 4 mounts we are having a average of 2
crashes a week. 
We have the following questions:
- Is there anybody who is using PS/2 model 80 with UNIX?
- Is there anybody using digiboard?
- How stabile is TCP/IP (it seems very unstabile).

The configuration is:
	- 386/IX version 2.0.2
	- TCP/IP version 1.1.2
	- PS/2 model 80-111
	- 8 Mb of memory.
	- 2 Digiboard communication boards.    
	- WD8003 Ethernet adapter.
