BSD derived TCP implementations tend to have both a global default changed with `adb` or some other means as well as the SNDBUF and RCVBUF setsockopt()'s for individual connections. IRIX is no exception. Use the setsocopt(), `dbx -k`, or edit /var/sysgen/master.d/bsd and run `autoconfig`. Vernon Schryver vjs@rhyolite.com
