Nope.

I'm taking a look at the page now, thanks. The setup is really simple:
fbsdbox->ne2K adapter--- 10 base 2 ---ne2K pnp adapter<-wintel nt 4.0

Can't ping, ftp, or telnet, BUT, I get this from tcpdump when I finger
myself (sic) from the nt box:
(timestamp) arp who-has fbsdbox.garbage.com tell ntbox.garbage.com
(timestamp) arp reply fbsdbox.garbage.com is-at 0:c0:d1:57:16:7d

That is the correct hardware address for the fbsdbox interface.
