- I've seen problems like this when talking between one system and
- another which had bugs in some MTU-discovery code, which caused
- problems with TCP packets over a certain size.
-
- What is at the other end of your MultiNet SLIP link? Another Vax, or
- something else? Once you get your MN 3.2 upgrade, you'll be able to
- monitor the data flow through the slip link using TCPDUMP, which might
- help to diagnose what is going wrong. [Ken: Please correct me if I'm
- wrong on this one! :-) ]
-
- What modems (or other comms gear) is connected between the MN Vax and
- the other end?
-
- Is there anything between the two systems which might inhibit the
- flow of 8-bit clean data?
