I've noticed this problem as well, but there is a parameter called
"forwarding-timer" and is set via /etc/na. It helps a bit. Actually,
if you really play with the parameters, you'll be in for alot of surprises;
running at 38.4kb is handled very nicely.  (I don't recall the settings
since, at this exact moment, we are getting a CPU upgrade. An even faster
machine????!??! 20 MIPS was just fine by me ...)

Anyone else out there have an Encore Multimax? I think they are wonderful
machines ... Ain't // processing just great?

AT&T: Take a good look at Encore!! I'd like to see some of thier //
processing implementations breed into other Unixes! ...One Day...
