Im sorry - when Ive done FTP that pooped out it was an ethernet connection. The trumpet users here connect to an annex 4000 for PPP. Flow control is hardware. I have one linux box with cern http which serves a web client who has pages with large pictures of chinchillas. I have one 2.0.5 BSD for other purpose cern httpd use. The linux pages dont poop out, the bsd ones do. And it resembles the same type of sudden stoppage that FTP does. Im not knocking BSD - and I even wondered if its a situation of too tight a set of time outs or something like that (Im NOT that up on the low levels of tcp/ip to know what the problem could be really). I would think it was me only my sco's and my linux dont do it.
