Hi everybody, I'm having trouble with my slip connection. I waited for 2.0.5 to see if the problem went away but it is still there... I have a leased line to my university ( a cisco router) and a US Robotics V.FC 28.800 on each side of the connection. The cisco router is rather old and only supports slip (no VJ compression) I've been using this setup since september 1993 (the modem was 14400) with no problems whatsoever. However, since one of the latest snaps (the march one I think) the slip connection hangs the machine after 1 or 2 megabytes of transfers. When I say "hangs" I mean it! No activity, no ALT-FN, nada. Only the big red button... I'm sure it's not a hardware problem because DOS, OS/2 (aaarrrgh) and linux seem to be very happy with it. I've been transferring hundreds of megabytes using linux with no problems. I believe it's got to do with some configuration thing but I am really not sure. What I do is: slattach -s 38400 -h /dev/cuaa1 ifconfig sl0 143.107.228.51 143.107.228.4 route add default 143.107.228.4 And that is all. It works for a while and ... freezes... Do I have to set cuaa1 to some state? Any other parameter to slattach? Please help!! It is funny that I have to use linux when FreeBSD was so nice in this respect when linux was quite shaky, two years ago... Ahh, FreeBSD 2.0 Release seems to be fine but I need the 2940 device driver to use my 2.1G disk and my Exabyte tape :-) Thanks Carlos Ruggiero (toto@ifq.sc.usp.br)
