Hi.

I am having a spot of bother setting up 386bsd on a network.  I have the
0.2.2 patchkit installed.  I have a 486/DX2 at 33 (66?) Mhz which I am
trying to use on ethernet as a server, with an nfs card configured as ne0.

When my other (386Dx 40Mhz) machine tries to use NFS off this machine, the
nfs-udp daemon becomes very cpu hungry.  ps -aux (eventually) reports 556%
cpu usage.  Obviously this degrades performance a tad. (5 mins to log on, or
worse).

I can FTP large files from one machine to another, and telnet from one
machine to another.  Ping reports no problems, so I assume it is just NFS.

Is there a patch?  Is anyone working on this?  Or have I done something
silly?


Thanx

	Simon
