Hi Steven,

I finally got two terminators, two T-connectors, but
unfortunately no ping, yet.

Here is output of these commands from one machine:

          inet addr:127.0.0.1  Bcast:127.255.255.255  Mask:255.0.0.0

loopback        *               255.0.0.0       U     0      0
 1 lo

Any idea, what is wrong?

BTW: under DOS it is even worse. The packet driver for the WD card
refuses to load when I feed it with the parameters that work under
Linux (IRQ 10, 0x340). It says that the memory address is
already occupied.
