I posted something about this last year.  Not sure now which issue it
appeared in.  I got mail from three different sites between Aug 13 and
Sept 19.  The apparent fix was from leonid%TAURUS.BITNET at CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU.
He suggessted replacing the transceiver that connects the affected
machine(s) to the Ethernet coax.  In our case, we had 5 3/280's connected
through a fan-out unit to a single transceiver.  We were seeing several
crashes per day spread randomly over the 5 machines.  The transceiver got
replaced (possibly as part of some unrelated work) and we haven't seen the
lost interrupt message since.
