- I'm investigating setting up slip on a dn3500 running 10.4. I would
- appreciate any advice and experiences.
-
- I think there's something in the FAQ about this. It works OK, but I don't
- think you can do any better than 19.2 kbps on the serial interface. I'm
- using a much-hacked version of the sr10.2 tcp, running on Domain/OS
- sr10.3.5, but I've heard that 10.4 has many improvements in the serial line
- driver, including larger kernel buffers. Before 10.4 the buffers were too
- small, and my dn3000 sometimes had trouble keeping up even at a lowly 19.2
- kbps. Hardware flow control works well and you'll certainly want to use it.
-
- I've got vj header compression working, and I gave the changes back to
- HP/Apollo, but I don't think it made it in to sr10.4.
-
- I'm in the midst of dumping all this in favor of a 386 box running Mach 2.5
- with a Teleos basic rate ISDN board running as a gateway to my ethernet.
- Then I'll use the dn3000 as a gateway to my Apollo token ring for my dn330.
- I thought about writing a gpio driver for the Teleos board and putting it in
- my dn3000, but I didn't think about it for very long.
