Thanks for the response. It doesn't work over ftp (to a local
server or *.freebsd.org). It will login, read a couple of hunks
& hang. 

My local net is simple -- everything is 10baseT or 10base2 & a 
single 10 port hub (circa 1991). Nothing to misconfigure.

I seem to remember problems with the zp0 driver in FreeBSD 2.1
or so. I seem to remember that I had to run:

% while (1)
> ifconfig zp0 <local ip address>
> sleep 30

on one of the vty shells to keep the zp0 interface from hanging.

I have always upgraded using the pccard driver (ed0?) since -- until
my disk crashed. Now I'm stuck.

Any other suggestions? (Maybe option flags on the network config 
page?). Thanks.
