So that's curious ... even though the packet driver is the same there might be firmware differences on the Xircoms that cause this.
The PE3TEST program reports a manufacturing timestamp of "5/5/95 11:18:33" . If anybody else has a PE3 can you run the PE3TEST program and report the manufacturing timestamp that you get? (Do not run the packet driver first .. PE3TEST right after booting is the proper way to do it.)

Edit: I looked for dates on two more devices. Here is my current list:
- PE3-10BT, DOS 3.3 or DOS 5.02, "5/5/95 11:18:33", passes testing, never any strange lockups
- PE3-10BC, DOS 3.3 or DOS 5.02, "2/13/95 7:58:25", passes testing, unknown if it has bad behavior
- PE3-10BT, DOS 3.3 or DOS 5.02, "5/15/96 5:41:35", passes testing, unknown if it has bad behavior
