>Description:

	I tried to change the port address of my lance ethernet (AMD
	on-board PCI) to 0xffe0, but the "vi" mode didn't let me do that.
	The non-visual mode doesn't complain about it, and the machine
	works fine with that address, so the port should be valid.

>How-To-Repeat:

	Go to the lnc0 line (for example) in userconfig, and try to
	change the port number to something beyond the ISA I/O range.

>Fix:
	
	Remove whatever sanity check Jordan put in? :)
