  10. Hello,
  11.  
  12.     We are running MultiNet over SLIP (we'd use ethernet if we had
  13. it, but...), and are having problems with data transfer:
  14.  
  15. With ftp, small files transfer okay, but anything larger than ~20K
  16. fails - it transfers the first few block, then freezes up and
  17. eventually times out:
  18.  
  19. DB1.CC.ROCHESTER.EDU>put year93.lis year93_b.lis
  20. <ASCII transfer started for DISK$USER10:[RPSS]YEAR93_B.LIS;
  21.     (...several minutes elapse here...)
  22. net write: %MULTINET-F-ECONNCLOSED, Connection closed
  23. [Aborting data transfer]
  24. <File transfer completed ok
  25.  
  26. Mail (PMDF) seems to have similar problems - small messages transfer
  27. okay, but larger ones fail:
  28.  
  29. $ run pmdf_root:[exe]mtcp_master
  30.  
  31. Starting delivery of
  32. PMDF_ROOT:[QUEUE.MTCP_LOCAL]992DC0EE1F1F400B5E.00;1
  33.  
  34. 11-JAN-93  00:52:31: SMTP routine failure on file:

  44. os_smtp_write: TCP write failed;
  45.     (...etc...)
  46.  
  47. Telnet mostly works, but is quite slow, and occasionally disconnects.
  48.  
  49. We are running VMS 5.5-1, MultiNet 3.0-G, PMDF 3.1 on a MacroVAX-II
  50. (which we would upgrade if we could :-).
  51.  
  52. Does anyone have any idea what is happening, or what I should look
  53. for?
  54.  
  55. Any leads would be much appreciated.
  56.
