- I've been having some problems with SLIP over /dev/com1 lately.
-
- For the most part it works fine, but every once in a while, it
- will get "stuck." No more information will flow from my
- machine over the SLIP connection, and vice versa. The only way
- to get it going again is to kill the slattach process, wait
- for any buffers to be flushed, and then restart the slattach
- process.
-
- Weird? This tends to happen usually when a lot of information
- is being sent at once. Overflowing buffers, possibly?
-
- I've tried using the original com.c driver and the bi-directional
- one by Chris (using /dev/ttyd1). Neither has solved the problem.
