- Hello there,
- I suffered from fragmentaed packets from a SLIP link from a VAX to a
- MAC (Yes I know this is not for Macs).
- I was trying to use the NCSA telnet package and discovered that they
- had not yet implemented the IP defragmentation. The VAX vendor informed me
- that defragmentation was not optional in IP packet handling.....
- Result: I modified ip.c in the NCSA package to defragment packets
- by putting the defragmented pieces back together before sending them to the
- uppper level.
-
- I see little reason why this code could not be put into the PC version
- if it too does not have IP defragmentation.
-
- Why not cantact NCSA ??
