I don't have XF86Setup. I installed over a sllloooowww FTP link so I only grabbed the base distribution, and then installed the XF86 port later. No Tcl in the tree at that time, so I didn't bother with it. >> [My network hangs sporadically] > >You still haven't answered regarding which 589s you're using and having >trouble with. Does the light on the pod keep working? Have you tried >swapping to see if its a card or system problem? D'oh, the cards are 3C589Ds. Both laptops (TP560Cs) and cards and modems were purchased at the same time, so presumably would both act the same. Since last time, I've been able to replicate this network death on both machines, using both cards...and my laptop worked fine in my office on the west coast. I'm just beyond confused by all this now. >> [what's this -trailers about?] >Ethernet trailers are dinosaur droppings, and support for them was >removed some time back.

We do have some fairly old suns here, but they should cause my network card to wedge, I'd think. I haven't yet even tried talking to them. I'll keep digging. Thanks for the help. Brian
