It's a UDP with SLIP in particular configurations problem... It is basically happening because the SLIP drivers can't negotiate UDP window size in the same way they can negotiate TCP window size... SO if you and your SLIP server use the same MTU, your SLIP server will probably take care of this... Otherwise you're hosed.. >-Sven Rafal /------------------------------------------------------------------------\ |Rafal Boni r-boni@uiuc.edu| |"Me have a .sig??
