I was reading the man page on the vx driver, and noted that 3Com is aware that these "early rev" cards were known to drop a large number of packets. I've been seeing additional problems while running under DOS with my 3C590 card - for instance, my X windows emulator will tell the server that the client connection has been accepted, and then never open the window on the screen. Under Unix (FreeBSD), it dies after a handful of packets, and 50% of the time, requires a reboot to get the card back to a level of sanity. Does anyone know if 3Com will readily admit to these problems, and if they have any plan for replacing the so-called "defective" cards? I'm curious, as I'm about to go head to head with their tech support, and want all the ammunition I could have. -Brian
