Tyler:

Probe this:

1- Move the AUI switch to BNC
2- Put in the BNC a T connector with two 50 ohm terminator.
3- Reboot.

If the error dissaper then the problem is in the tranciver or the AUI 
connector.

Probe in any other site the transciver, if its work, the problem is in the 
VAX. Probably a pico-fuse broken in the ethernet converter.

Put attention in ground connections in the VAXC and in false contacts in the 
AUI.

Other problem: the AUI/BNC swith broken o move from AUI to BNC.


Best R....

Fernando
