OK, that did it!  I'm now on the net.
But only after I changed the delay at line 213 of if_ep.c from 1000 to 10000, 
(As was previously mentioned on this list).

I had to ftp the configuration program, since this system came pre-configured
to run DOS and Windows.  (and we didn't get any floppies).

I hope the delay gets fixed before 2.0.5 ships,  otherwise network installs
are quite a pain. 


Would it be possible to turn "plug and play" mode off ourself when we detect
the card is in test mode?  It would sure make installations easier.
