As a result of this my E-mail is being hung with I/O errors or worse yet outgoing packets (from internal net to Internet) are being truncated. I have my "maxusers" set to 64 and have even tried to set a NBUF=512 and my ed0 flags to 0x8 to have more receive buffer space. As said in the subject line, this is a 3C503 16 bit card. I am in need of some help on this, ASAP please. Please respond via E-mail to: michaele@mxim.com or voice to: (503) 641-3737 Ext. 2245 If you have any suggestions on how to correct this.
