The two Accton cards work perfectly together, as do the two RTL8139 cards 
(with 2.2.16 modules, anyway) but I can't ping between Accton and RTL8139, 
much less send files.  Plip looked like it was working - it could ping 
(only after I did ifconfig eth0 down) but nc:  no connect, when I tried to 
send.  Laplink pro for DOS always works so we are transferring 35MB for 
the next half hour instead of setting up parport zip drive and adding 
ppa.o module to BL2 ramdisk.

Is there some speed adjustment that I can make to the rtl8139 PCI 100Mbit 
so it will work with the slower Accton ISA 10MBit?
