Thanks.  I tried this, but it doesn't seem to help.  It has the same
effect as -link0 link1 which is what I was doing.  I did some more
snooping and I note that input errors on nep0 are climbing steadily
while it is connected to the net.  If I disconnect, the error rate
drops.  The number of input packets remains zero at all times.

I turned on debug with ifconfig, but no messages resulted.

The kernel thinks that it can transmit (no errors), but I checked with
tcpdump from another machine and nothing appears.
