Fred,
What I did notice is that DEQNA's (and DELQA's)
quite often drop packets
as soon as traffic gets heavier on the network. I tested this at the
raw-iron level (my own bare-metal test code) so that is not an OS-
driver issue. Under E11, I did not see this weirdness happen, so it
is a real-hardware thing.
Have you ever gotten DECnet/E running on E11? Has anyone? I forget where it dies, but
IIRC, it gets as far as the reboot after the install, then it can no longer find the
ethernet adapter.
