- It works here from various UNIX systems to a VAX 8840 5.4-3 with UCX 1.3A.
- (including crimson 4.0.4, indigo 4.0.2 4.0.4 4.0.1, PI 35 4.0.2, 320 4.0.4)
- However, I needed to increase various buffers switching from 1.3 to 1.3A on
- the UCX side in the UCX$STARTUP and attached scripts. Otherwise the symptoms
- were similar as you describe. Check with show comm/mem/cont to see whether
- you run out of buffers. Better more than quite enough buffers free, otherwise
- hangups. At our side, the shortage was appearing because of X Windows using
- the UCX transport on TCP/IP in addition to many FTP incoming sessions.

- Maybe this helps,
