I've got dp-2.2beta runinng between two Sun3's running 4.1.1 using telebit worldblazers and I'm seeing the following problem. If you generate a lot of packet activity ie, rcp a file or bring up an X tool, the process generating the activity will appear to hang or the whole session will hang. ie if i do an rcp between machine 1 and machine 2 the rcp will hang on machine 1 after transferring about 25k. Most of the time I can still use other rsh's through the link, but the one doing the rcp is dead. Sometimes only the one process get's blocked and sometimes everything gets hangs. From what I` understand, the modem attached to machine 1 has it's send and receive lights flashing where as the modem attached to machine 2 only has it's send light flashing. To me this looks like a flow control problem, with a process losing some packets an thus it get's hung waiting for an ACK. I don't understand though why the process does not recover. Also when the whole session is hung I can't figure out why the send light is flashing on modem 1 and the recieve is not flashing on modem 2. The following are my register setting: WorldBlazer - SA - Version LA5.00W- Active Configuration B1 E1 L2 M1 P Q2 V1 X1 Y0 &C1 &D3 &G0 &J0 &L0 &Q0 &R0 &S3 &T4 &X0 S000:1 S001=0 S002:255 S003=13 S004=10 S005=8 S006=2 S007:100 S008=2 S009=6 S010=14 S011=70 S012=50 S018=0 S025=5 S026=1 S038=0 S041:2 S045=0 S046=0 S047=4 S048=0 S050=0 S051:254 S056=17 S057=19 S058:2 S059=0 S060=0 S061:0 S062=15 S063=0 S064=0 S068=255 S069=0 S090=0 S092=0 S093=8 S094=1 S100=0 S104=0 S105=1 S111=255 S112=1 S151=4 S155=0 S180:3 S181=1 S183=25 S190=1 S191=7 S253=10 S254=255 S255=255 OK I also set s50=7 s180=2 s190=4 when I initiate a call. I hope some one can help me because so far dp works fine for simple interactive stuff, but I cannot due X Windows or file transfer. -- --- Stephen Martin ------- LSI Logic Corporation of Canada, Inc.
