network interface for an XP1000

Hi,

We have an XP1000 running 5.0A (no patches) which has apparently lost
its ability to communicate with the network. Some questions...

-- Is there a definitive way to tell whether the interface is indeed
defective? As I said, it no longer can access the network, so I
assume that the interface is bad, but I'd like to know for certain.

-- It looks like the interface is a part of the motherboard -- right?
(So I can't just replace the interface by pulling out a card...)

-- Can I add another interface as a separate card that plugs into the
bus (PCI, I think...)?

Thanks,
