I set up both computers (one with a known working Kingston (tulip.o) card
and the other with the winbond 906 insmod 8390 insmod ne 0x300 irq=10 and
then ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.1 (the correct module and then ...1.2 on the
tulip machine) and then route on both and both machines gave me two lines,
one with eth0 and one with lo.  With two tulip cards, or a realtek 8029, 
or a winbond 940, it worked and I could transfer.  With this card I could 
not ping (or transfer files).

I will try another card now, the ISA 3com and/or some new pci models.
