A DOS-BPQ-node normally sent its frames to a 'multicast' address. Linux
BPQ-ethernet frames are sent to the broadcast-adress. Your BPQ-node will
receive the broadcast frames, but the Linux system will NOT receive
multicast frames if you did not enable multicast on your ethernet interface.
Probably that's why the Linux computer does not receive any of the DOS-BPQ
frames.
You can enable multicast receiving by adding 'allmulti' in the IFCONFIG
line of your ethernet card e.g. :
ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.1 broadcast 192.168.0.255 netmask 255.255.255.0
allmulti up
You could also reconfigure the DOS-BPQ node to sent its frame to the
broadcast adress instead of the default multicast adress. This is described
in the BPQ documentation, but I think changing the linux-ifconfig is more
easy.
