                   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.
