The saga of my Terca 730.  I installed 2.1.6 + XF8632 + PAO.  I had
some problems with this, I don't remember exactally what now but
since I needed XF8632 for my video chipset I decided to try 2.2-BETA.

I installed 2.2-BETA + XF8632.  This almost worked but while running
X + fvwm1.24r the keybord stopped working.  The mouse continued to
work and the window manager continued to work but the keyboard did
not.  I decided to try to apply the PAO patches PAO-961215.

I was able to apply the patches by removing the patches to if_fe.c
and hand applying the patch to files.i386.  I could not apply the
patch to i386/isa/psm.c.

The keyboard still locks up under X + fvwm-1.24r, restarting the X
server brings the keyboard back. I will try another window manager
but any hints. clues, suggestions would help.  Also any hints on how
to get the ps/2 mouse driver to work without causing the keyboard to
stop working would be usefull.

The 3c589c-combo.

It is brand new..  I have used it under win95 with both the UTP and
BNC, at least once trying the BNC under FreeBSD immediately using the
BNC under win95.  I have tried using the 3com utility to set the
connector type both under win95 and msdos 6.0.  I will try again but
and suggestions gratefully accepted.
