[Simh] vax under freebsd and ethernet.

[trasz at buziaczek.pl]

i'm trying to connect vms running under vax simh v3.1-0 with the host
operating system, freebsd 4.9 i386.  i have two network cards:

rl0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        inet 192.168.1.42 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255
        ether 00:00:1c:d6:13:f9
        media: Ethernet autoselect (10baseT/UTP)
        status: active
ed0: flags=8943<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        ether 00:40:f6:14:07:af

... connected together via crossover UTP cable.  in simh config file
there is:

attach xq ed0

vms multinet configuration:

NET-CONFIG>show
Interface                                Adapter     CSR Address    Flags/Vector
---------                                -------     -----------    ------------
se0      (Shared VMS Ethernet/FDDI)       -NONE-        -NONE-       -NONE-
          [TCP/IP: 192.168.1.13, IP-SubNet: 255.255.255.0]
          [VMS Device: XQA0, Link Level: Ethernet]


Official Host Name:             victim
Default IP Route:               192.168.1.42
Timezone:                       MET
Timezone Rules:                 EUROPE/MIDDLE
Load UCX $QIO driver:           TRUE
Load PWIP (Pathworks) driver:   TRUE

the problem is, there is no connectivity between the two.

sim> sh xq stat
Ethernet statistics:
  Recv:          0
  Filtered:      0
  Xmit:          46
  Xmit Fail:     46
  Runts:         0
  Oversize:      0
  Setup:         9
  Loopback:      0
  ReadQ high:    1

the 'xmit fail' count is somewhat high.  how can i fix this?
