Vickers) Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd Subject: SLIP over /dev/com1 Keywords: SLIP IP com serial Message-ID: <2A6F096A.27862@ics.uci.edu> Date: 23 Jul 92 19:32:59 GMT Organization: Univ. of Calif., Irvine, Info. & Computer Sci. Dept. Lines: 20 Nntp-Posting-Host: valentine.ics.uci.edu I've been having some problems with SLIP over /dev/com1 lately. For the most part it works fine, but every once in a while, it will get "stuck." No more information will flow from my machine over the SLIP connection, and vice versa. The only way to get it going again is to kill the slattach process, wait for any buffers to be flushed, and then restart the slattach process. Weird? This tends to happen usually when a lot of information is being sent at once. Overflowing buffers, possibly? I've tried using the original com.c driver and the bi-directional one by Chris (using /dev/ttyd1). Neither has solved the problem. -- ___ _ _ _ _ _ ( _) ___ ___ _( )__( )_ ( )( ) o __( ) _ ___ ___ ___ (___)(_) (__=) (_)_ (_)_ (__) (_)(_((_)(_'(__=)(_) _(_) Brett Vickers (bvickers@ics.uci.edu)
