               BRAVO 4/50S AND THE AKHTER 16 BIT ETHERNET ADAPTER


PROBLEM:        The Bravo 4/50S system hangs using the AKHTER 16 bit Ethernet
                Adapter when the LAN adapter is configured for IRQ2.

CAUSE:          Noise caused by an impedance mismatch between the AKHTER LAN
                Adapter and the Bravo system.
