I can rlogin, telnet, ftp, and NFS mount file systems across various combinations of machines/OS with no problems. However, throughput to and from NetBSD (and 386BSD) systems is terrible - 2-4K/second. Throughput to and from other machines is at least 200K/second. I don't notice any delays with rlogin or telnet. When I ftp and turn on hash mark printing, I can see several (10-20) packets burst through and then it just hangs for 5-30 seconds. Eventually, the transfer will finish. When I try to copy files to/from NFS mounted filesystems, I see the same pattern with the occasional "server not responding" message. Has anyone seen this behavior before? Any suggestions for a fix or at least some pointers as to where to begin debugging? scott -- ======================================================================= Scott Bartram Pulse Systems 301-470-6000 scottb@pulse-sys.com 12101 Indian Creek Court uunet!deneb!scottb Beltsville, MD 20705
