Hi!

     Is anyone using a 3c503 ethernet adapter with the AUI port rather than
the coax connector?  Our whole net is 10BT.  I know that when using a 3c503
card in a Novell Netware server you have to explicitly tell the o/s to use the
AUI port if that's your configuration.  Since I seem to be getting notthing but
silence from my 3c503 and 386BSD on our 10BT LAN, I figure that the kernel is
assuming the connection to the LAN is via the coax port.  Anyone have any tips?
