The config.tel file that accompanies the Cisco version of NCSA Telnet has improper values set for the mss, mtu, and rwin parameters. There are many permissible settings which can slightly affect performance and which depend in part on the mtu setting on the SLIP server to which you are connecting. However, a value of 512 for all three parameters is consistent and a reasonable guess in your circumstances. Since you are using 2400 baud, I'd guess that if it still does not work, adjusting the values downward to 256 may bring success. I hope this helps. -- Tom Barton Internet: bartont@next2.msci.memst.edu Department of Math Sciences Bitnet: bartont@memstvx1 Memphis State University Phone: 901-678-2527
