Thanks Uwe! The machine works just fine with AIX 5.1. But,
unfortunately, its NIC (3COM 3C595;
ftp://service.boulder.ibm.com/device...ers/README.TXT) is
not supported by AIX 5.1. I searched IBM web site to find some list of
supported NICs on 5.1 but I was unsuccessful. Also, I tried to put
another PCI based NIC into the machine (some RealTek card) but AIX
(cfgmgr) complains that devices.pci.ec103981 is not installed. Of
course, this package is not on AIX 5.1 CDs nor I was able to find it on
the Internet.

If someone can give me a hint or something where to look for?

Thanks in advance!

Branimir
