Here's some additional information about the problem.  It
appears from the "netstat -I" that every output packet on
the ep0 interface results in a collision.  tcpdump shows
nothing on the interface originating from host "pantera"
but local ping requests show up.

Unfortunately, I have no way to get information off the
486.  I don't think this is where the problem is though
since this host worked the first time on a co-worker's
net similar to the one below but with 2 FreeBSD PCs and
1 Sparc 2.  If there is anymore information you need let
me know.  Thanks!
