I use emacs-gnus to read news, using NNTP to get it from a second (non *BSD) system. It works as expected. However when I try to post a message I get an error. ONLY THEN !! I can use rsh, ftp etc (and read news) When I try to post news (more than about 2 lines) I get the following errors: ( Copy from xconsole) May 23 14:42:26 beowulf /386bsd: ed0: remote transmit DMA failed to complete May 23 14:42:37 beowulf last message repeated 3 times May 23 14:42:38 beowulf /386bsd: ed0: NIC memory corrupt - invalid packet length 19969 May 23 14:42:41 beowulf last message repeated 2 times May 23 14:42:49 beowulf /386bsd: ed0: remote transmit DMA failed to complete May 23 14:43:13 beowulf /386bsd: ed0: remote transmit DMA failed to complete .... Emacs don't crash (However it waits until transmit is ended, but ^G^G works) Also the network is still up (I'm using rsh now) Also, using the 1.1R kernel give the same problem. Is this a know bug, can it be fixed? is there a workaround? --GAM P.S. *BSD is great, please stop the <mine is better, you are a sucker> wars!
