- I need to be pointed in the right direction.
- I am setting up a syncronous 256kbit link on a SPARC2 w/ a Sun HSI/S card.
- The card claims to support a standard "ifnet" interface to the kernel. The
- card also claims to support INR, X.25, and SNA. What I want is basic TCP/IP
- services(rlogin, ftp) over the link. Oh, I should also mention that the
- link is fairly long delay (~250 msec one way) so we are considering a
- variant transport layer protocol, NETBLT. Any info, books to read, source
- code to check out , etc. would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance
- for any help.
