Date: Fri, 19 Feb 1993 11:57:09 GMT Message-ID: <C2p2J9.Aor@news.cso.uiuc.edu> Sender: usenet@news.cso.uiuc.edu (Net Noise owner) Organization: University of Illinois at Urbana Lines: 29 Hello all... I have a question about the SLIP implementation for 386BSD... I just recently got a SLIP line, and I did a little stress-testing last night [or earlier this night]. Everything seemed cool, even when running X stuff from the school's Sequent and the display set to my machine... For a while at least! After running for a while, stuff would start to freeze on me, and when I tried ping'ing a host on the campus net, i would get lots of "Writeto: not enough buffers", or something of that nature errors. Note that ping was the only app. that even gave me an error message... Everything else just froze.... Now if I killed SLATTACH, etc. and re-statred SLIP [w/out re-dialing into the SLIP server] everything would work for a while again. Also I would like to note that this "while" couls be as long as an hour and a half.... Any ideas, pointers [preferably character pointers], etc. would be greatly appreciated.
