It might be that the internal DIP switches are set for the AUI port rather than the BNC connector. All 8 switches on S0618 should be in the ON position. -- ,u, Bruce Becker Toronto, Ontario 1 416 699 1868 a /i/ Internet: bdb@gts.org Uucp: ...!gts!bdb `\o\-e "The wages of sin is depth" _< /_ - Lao Tse Tutu
