It works, but it's slower. Assuming you are dialing
at the same speed (are you?), then either you have set
it up with different parameters (packet length, window
size, etc) or else it's getting correctable transmission
errors.
The "show protocol" command reveals the packet length
and window size. Compare the results for versions 6
and 8.
The file-transfer display gives the error/retransmission
count. You can also get a summary after the fact with
the "statistics" command.
Also use the "show communications" command to see the
serial-port settings -- speed, flow control, etc.

That applies only to dialing; it has no effect on the
connection itself, once it is made.

If you can't figure this out from the evidence at hand,
ask the Panix admins to contact us and we can work
directly with them.
