| I'd say NO because you'll be in an IEEE 802.3 Ethernet network and not
an Ethernet V2 one. However, if you have a VMS system for instance
you'll should see your "Carrier Detect Check Failure" counter increment
whenever you send a packet (in the DECnet IV line counters).

| Heartbeat should ALWAYS be enabled, regardless of IEEE 802.3, or
ENET_II. The ONLY time to disable heartbeat is if the NIC side of the
transceiver is connected to a repeater port, or a DELNI (The DELNI
only because someone MIGHT attach a repeater to the DELNI).
Both instances in your example (#1, and #2) are showing the MAU
connected to the AUI port of a bridge. In both of these cases there is
no question. The SQE should be enabled.
