I use a 1200 baud modem in one side of the data engine and a 9600 baud modem in the other side. I seem to consistently get quite a few Brkints (break or abort interupts) in the 9600 Baud port. "Quite a few" is about 100 per second. My impression is that the data engine is servicing so many interupts, that it has no time to do much else. It is related to the 9600 baud modem, cause if I take it out, I can do not see this problem. My 9600 baud modem jumpers are set up as default from Kantronics. Questions 1) What actually causes the Brkint to happen. 2) Any ideas as to what I could try to fix this.

Also some folks in Minnesota I believe wrote some code like this for an older version of JNOS. Could I get a name, callsign, and email address of someone with it and if possible get a copy of the source?

When running on a 486 under a DOS window I did not experience a memory leak. Then I moved it to a 286 machine and slowly ran out of memory. But I modified the AUTOEXEC.NOS file and set the IBUF SIZE to 512, DOMAIN CACHE SIZE to 6 and started WNOS4A8 with only 6 sockets in the hopes of having more free memory. Using these setting I apparently am not experiencing the memory leak. Of course there is very little you can do with these setting. However I do have a question on how different versions of NOS handle NNTP. >From what I have determined some forms of KA9Q (like WNOS) issue NNTP commands that request news articles from another NNTP server and it is up to the other NNTP server to keep track what has been sent and what still needs to be sent. Whereas other forms of KA9Q keep track of what has been received and issue requests to the NNTP server asking for specific articles. Can someone expand on this or point me to documents describing what is happening? Thanks, -Stan Kasper ------------------------------ End of TCP-Group Digest V94 #92 ******************************
