Mark,

Assigning an IP address to en1 didn't help, but setting xq0 to en0 does 
at least get me past where I was.

I was using an additional ethernet card to allow my simh vax to talk to 
my Mac. It also turns out that if I try to use TCP/IP (in the guise of 
TCPware) on the simulated VAX VMS system, it apparently steals frames 
away from the Mac itself. Whenever I have this happening Safari or 
other network applications start acting funny--screens that only 
partially load but with no error message, for example.

Maybe we can investigate why the second interface isn't recognized.

Thanks,

Galen
