- Have you enabled Van Jacobson CSLIP compression, hardware handshaking,
- and the internal slip driver found in the Winsock's setup? I get about 3.5
- kb/sec on text and 1.4-1.5 kb/sec on binary transfers as well, as I once did
- in DOS. System administrators tell me that SLIP is preferable to PPP over a
- modem line due to overhead considerations.

-
- >p.s. I have not try the WFXCOMM driver
-
- That could be important, as I've never run Windows TCPIP without WFXCOMM.

- Subject: Trumpet winsock, SLIP and apps
-
-
- Some people have reported problems with Trumpet winsock and SLIP. I'm using
- the combination listed below and have not observed any TCP/IP kernel or SLIP
- related performance problems. (Some winsock apps I've used have a few bugs,
- though.) I hope this info helps someone.
-
- 486 PC
- Windows 3.1
-
- Trumpet winsock 1.0A
-
- MTU 296
- TCP RWIN 4096
- MSS 256
- Internal CSLIP
- DTE 19200
- 16550 UART
- Hardware flow control
- Manual login
-
- QVT 3.96
-
- qws3270
-
-
- The remote side is an Annex comm server with a dedicated rlogin session to a
- (Sun) UNIX system using Morning Star's SLIP/PPP software.
-
- I've used QVT's ftp to get a 300K file while also running a telnet and
- tn3270 session. The modem's receive light was a constant red ("on").
- Response time for the telnet sessions was slowed by the ftp transfer, of
- course, but that is a factor of bandwidth (a 9600 modem).
-
- I am not saying that Trumpet winsock may not have any bugs, but that using
- the config shown above I have not observed the problems that others have
- reported. I've had no problems using the embedded SLIP or CSLIP with telnet,
- ftp and tn3270. I don't currently use other winsock apps, such as Mosaic.
- (The possibility exists for any Windows app to suck up a lot to all CPU time
- if the program has a bug and does not share CPU time correctly - I've run
- into that type of problem.)
