I'm trying to run a slip connection from a linux machine to a freebsd machine.
I can established the connection, ping works. When I do a ftp PUT, that works,
when I do a ftp GET, it hangs. TCPDUMP traces show freebsd sending it, but
the linux is getting "ip truncated" messages, and other various garbled data.
So data going from bsd to linux is being corrupted. I've tried connecting at
slower speeds (2400), but that didn't help. I figure its a modem problem of
some sort, the linux side modem I've use with no problems in other appls?
Any words of wisdom would be appreciated.
