	Problem: FDDI ring with a Sable and a Xerox Printer
    	4090, interfaced to FDDI via SUN Sparcstation 10

       seems to crash the ring, which results also in Cluster crashes
       (Sable is boot node, satellites on Ethernet)

    I think the problem comes from SUN, because disconneting it
    eliminates the problem.
    
    Any known FDDI problems with SUN ?

    Hi Walter,
    
    Look at 1037.* notes to have references to Sun patches if applicable.
