We're running Racal Interlan TCP/IP (NP622A V3.0) on Intel Unix System V.3.2.2 
and Novell Lan Workplace (V 4.0 Rel A) on Dos 5.0. When FTPing from the DOS
system to the UNIX box, the transfer sees to bog down (either ftpd is ignoring
ACK PSH or DOS ftp is ignoring the response), and eventually after a couple
of slow file transfers you get one that takes forever. Finally ftpd core
dumps after completing the transaction (ftp reports success) but before
completing the write to the output file.

With the older version of NP622A (V2.1) OR the previous version of Lan
Workplace (V 3.5 Rel B) there are no problems. With the newer versions we
get these problems in varying levels of severity on two separate UNIX
boxes and two separate DOS boxes. In addition, the problems have only
recently become noticable (previously, there was some slowdown but no
crashes or incomplete files) though there have been no changes to the
systems that we are aware of, and the problems persist in an isolated
LAN segment.

Going back to the earlier version of Lan Workplace is being evaluated,
but we can't get that version for the rest of the PCs. It's not practical
at this time to take the UNIX box down and regress it.

Any suggestions?
