(how to get) Date: 4 Apr 1994 02:46:20 -0500 Organization: The University of Texas - Austin Lines: 15 Message-ID: <2nogkc$hs9@sylvester.cc.utexas.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: sylvester.cc.utexas.edu I posted once about how NetBSD-0.9's slip was a bit flaky... archie and stuff didn't work at all. I was told that SLIP routinely dropped UDP packets. However, recently, someone told me differently. He said he used slip and archie, etc, worked just fine. Could anyone clear this up? Part II: I received several pieces of mail giving me ways to change the kernel to provide better slip functionality/performance. I'd like to get people's consensus on the changes. Could anyone with a tip in this area, please post it for peer review? I know very little about Unix networking. -- Protect our endangered bandwidth - reply by email. NO BIG SIGS!
