Well, I recently found my 3c5x9cfg.exe/FreeDOS bootfloppy and popped it into a PC with a couple of the cards from my old 486 LEAF box.
First of all, it appears that I was mistaken about the cards that I had. There were three 3C509's and only one 3C509B. This made no difference before, so I hadn't paid any attention. I ran one of the 3C509's and the 3C509B card through the config utility. The 3C509 had no option for full duplex or Plug and Play whereas the 3C509B had an option for both, as expected. Plug and Play was disabled and Full Duplex was enabled. Probably putting the modem on the 3C509B card would have made a difference. I'll probably mess around with this a bit more over this weekend but just end up keeping the 486 as a backup. I'll write again when I find out whether or not using the B card makes any difference so that people in my situation will have some other options besides replacing their othewise-working box.
