That's great, thank you! :-)
When I had similar problems, I searched the web site for relevant PRs
and found that although the problem wasn't widely known, I was not alone.
As far as the DEC cards go, see PR misc/18641, we have been
trying to get some old DEC cards to Paul Richards so that he can work
on a fix for the le(4) driver, but fate keeps getting in the way.
(BTW, I'm using these fine with FreeBSD 3.3 but 3.5 and above don't work)
Please contact Paul if you can arrange to send the DEC cards to the UK.
