- So has any lucky soul been able to get SLIP working.
- The modem connection is made, although there is no
- message confirming the connection (should there be one?),
- but when I try to ftp or telnet it always times out and
- when I ping no one returns it. Not GOOD!
-
- Are there any magic words that will get this thing
- going?
-
- On a different note -- a few days ago I posted a
- message about the horrible performance of a remote
- telnet session when the server's CPU has a high load.
-
- There were several subsequent posts (THANK YOU ALL!)
- explaining what the problem might be. All seem to
- miss a couple of points (probably because I was not
- clear in my problem description):
-
- 1) with average CPU load the performance of the remote telnet session is fine
- 2) a telnet session from the loaded CPU to the outside world works fine
-
- The problem is when the loaded CPU is handling a remote telnet
- session. It seems that when the CPU is loaded OS2/TCP/IP (or whatever)
- does not give enough priority to the remote session resulting
- in a completely unusable remote session. Is there any way to
- either give the remote session more cycles or limit the priority
- of the task(s) that may be using too much CPU. Of course, one
- needs to be able to change these priorities remotely.
-
- Thanks all very much -- alann
