Greetings.
I am linking via null modem cable a Win98 laptop to Redhat Linux 6.0
laptap. File transfers work, but only after a fashion and with
considerable delay. I seek help to remedy this.
Every 10-20 packets there is an "input overrun" error displayed, a pause
of 5-10 seconds, then resumed transfer.
The windows end is running kermit-for-DOS (no, I haven't yet ordered
Kermit-for-9*). The unix end is running C-kermit on line /dev/ttyS0.
Line parameters are xon/xoff, 8-none-1. The overruns occur at all speed
between 9600 and 115,200 but seem to take longer to recover at lower
speeds.
I was a frequent kermit user in a previous life, but am new to unix. Is
there something I should be trying to tweak re packet or window sizes?
flow control?
Thanx in advance.
