- The messages are meant to be literal, in this case meaning that
- Kermit could not disengage from the Packet Driver for each of the three
- kinds of packets it has registered for. The cause of that is very likely
- you loaded another piece of software which clobbered the Packet Driver and/or
- board, say a Novell NetWare shell IPX generated for the board rather than for
- a Packet Driver. Another possibility is the 3C503 board was clobbered my
- memory management software.
- In any case, the messages indicate the machine is in an unstable
- state and should be rebooted. Afterward check the configuration carefully
- for interference with the board or with the Packet Driver interrupt and
- so on. There are so many ways of configuring machines that each case
- requires some study when matters fail. If you can, see if another person
- nearby who knows about PCs can help go through the machine with you. It's
- probably just some small mistake which is easy to overlook.
