I ran across a site which suggested, for Win98 users (nothing
to do with notebook computers), in your IPX/SPX networking
protocol, under Advanced, to set the Frame Type instead of
leaving it Auto. Win98 and Win95 allow several possible
settings of this parameter:

Auto
Ethernet 802.2
Ethernet 802.3
Ethernet II
Token Ring
Token Ring SNAP

I am using vanilla 10 MB Ethernet, and the setting
Ethernet II
works for me. I set the other computer (running Win95) in the
home LAN likewise.

My 600E (Win98, 128 MB RAM, 4AU) now no longer crashes when
coming back from suspend. That used to happen about 20% of the
time. I still think that my 701C under Win95 networked better,
but at least performance on the 600E is no longer horrible.
Thank you, Doug!
