- To which Ian Kitching (systimk@uk.ac.anglia-polytechnic.vaxa) responded by
- sending me a modified pascal program from the 1987 Decus SIG tape that provides
- a continuous display of the ethernet counters. All the counters are available
- using a sensemode QIO to the ethernet driver (no black magic required). I
- should have read the I/O user's guide (I just didn't expect it would be that
- easy). Thanks Ian.
