I finally have obtained an ethernet card, but I have
been unsuccessful with connecting to the net.  I've
rebuilt the kernel with the ep0 device configured.

device ep0 at isa? port 0x300 net irq 10 vector epintr

The machine boots and ``correctly'' probes the card.
The card is attached to the net through its 10BaseT
connector.

I edited /etc/hosts, /etc/netstart, and /etc/networks
to no avail.  I have consulted Nemeth, Synder and
Seebass and I am fairly sure the entries in these files
are correct.  I also looked through the FAQ (from freefall),
but it does not include any useful info.

From /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1      localhost
128.95.97.216  troutmask troutmask.apl.washington.edu
128.95.97.100  foogate

From /etc/netstart
ifconfig ep0 inet troutmask netmask 255.255.255
ifconfig lo0 inet localhost
route add $hostname localhost
route add default foogate

ping localhost works as expected, but pinging any other
local machine timeouts with 100% loss of packets.  So,
what is the magical incantation?
