I'm running NetBSD 0.9 on my 486/33 at home. I've started playing with SLIP and connecting to a machine at work. I connect fine and the ping times seem pretty reasonable (~250ms). If I try to send large amounts of data over the line (like a ftp session, etc.) the connection hangs. If I run another slattach the connection will free up... and then eventually freeze again. What can I do to fix this? I've heard that the FreeBSD serial drivers are more robust... but I would really like to avoid switching operating systems again. Thanks. -- Bryan D.
