Voice Card and Ethernet board

[Stacy Marsella]

I am having some difficulty with a newly installed Voice Card in a
UnixPC (3B1) and was wondering if anyone had suggestions or info on
what may be causing the problem. There seems to be some form of nasty
interaction between the Voice card driver and the Ethernet driver so
that attempts to use Voice card applications will crash the system if
the Ethernet driver is loaded. For instance, when using the voice
editor (ve), clicking on record will crash the system. The crash is
dramatic, i.e. the system hangs, all the LEDS go out, and there is no
core file. However, if I unload the ethernet driver before running
ve then there is no problem.

The system is a 2meg 3b1.  The kernel is version 3.51m. The Ethernet
card is in the first slot and I am running version 1.4 of the WIN/3B
TCP-IP software (hopefully the most recent version ...).  The voice
card is in the third slot and the voice board is revision 2.0 (Version
2.1 of the high and low roms - 8/87 date).The voice card system
software is the most recent revision (I neglected to write it down but
it is 2.?).  There are no cards in the second slot.  Finally, there is
a line in unix.log as follows which I don't think is pertinent but
here it is anyways:

drv:0 part:2 blk:9841 rpts:1 <date-and-time>

Before I go into "Let's try this" mode, I thought I would
appeal to persons more knowledgeable in these matters.
Any suggestions as to what is wrong or what I should try? 
(e.g. Should I attempt moving the cards into different slots? Should I
reinstall software?)

Thanks very much for any help
