What the hell does 'SIMPLEX' mean in the flags on an ifconfig?

I have a problem.  3 of the 386bsd PC's here with the latest patchkit
will not connect to each other, but will connect to every other machine
I can try, and none of the other machines has trouble connecting to any
of the 386bsd PC's.

Another machine with an older patchkit doesn't have any trouble
at all.  One of the differences is the 'SIMPLEX' on the ifconfig line.

Any help appreciated.
