Here's a possibly significant clue. I'm using SLIP at the moment, at least until I can get a PCMCIA Ethernet card that's supported. The installation scripts set me up with some ifconfig commands in the startup file, but no slattach command. If I manually attach the slip interface before doing anything with the network, then I can run sendmail, telnet, etc just fine without any kernel panics (so far). Could there be an uninitialized pointer somewhere in the slip driver that gets set properly by slattach, thus preventing a kernel page fault when the pointer is dereferenced? Phil
