Collision Test

The collision test checks the Ethernet's collision detect circuitry
by forcing a collision on transmit. To run the collision test, type
t x05 P1 and press Return. When you use this test command,
Replace x with the unit number of the Ethernet controller
that you want to test.
Replace the optional P1 parameter with the Ethernet
address in which you want to set up structures.
