- I've gotten patches for tcp_input.o and tcp_output.o from the CSC guys
- down in georgia. I was told that the patches were released (or at
- least made available) on December 18, 1992. We're running Ultrix 4.3
- and the patches seem to fix our problems, but we're still testing.
-
- Try running the command 'what /vmunix | grep tcp_' and see what you
- get back for the versions of the tcp_* modules. Take this information
- and tell your CSC person there are patches available. Hope this
- helps.
