First of all: thank-you William & Lynne... very very much!
With respect to the WD8003E problems. I tried the following but no
success:
---------------
>I originally had problems with an WD8003E that worked fine under 0.0. I
>think the 8003E may have problems using IRQ2 (unfortunately the default);
>still looking into it. The error message was something like 'reject

A bug on the list. Quick fix is to comment out the ISOLAN (is) entry in
ioconf.c. It's a configuration conflict.
----------------
I will keep digging but in case this can help find the problem I get the
following reject messages:
If I just ifconfig we0 name netmask 255.255.255.0 and then route add
default etc etc. I get four "reject 65314"s followed by one "reject
65446":
reject 65314reject 65314reject 65314reject 65314 reject 65446
If I then ping this machine from somewhere else I get:
reject 65340reject 65314reject 65314reject 65314reject 65314 reject 65446
reject 65340reject 65340reject 65340 (repeats of "reject 65340" for each
ping.)
An incoming telnet just gives one "reject 65340" for each poll of the
address.
Anyhow I'll keep digging around but am also somewhat new to this
end of the UNIX world ;-) but am rather enjoying it!
Thanks again W & L; I will be sending a small donation to help with the
cause although I guess it would be nice if we could pry loose some big
money to help you out :)
