Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-current@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi... I'm having a strange problem with my modem, and am wondering if anyone has any ideas... I'm running FreeBSD 3.0-CURRENT, and due to the problem, figured I'd spend tonight upgrading my system. Previously, was running a July 12th kernel... The problem *appears* to be temporary network lag, except that ping reports something around a 1% packet loss. Right now, I'm trying to cvsup down the new source tree, and it is just hanging there, altho a ping runs perfectly (the 1% packet loss was on 75 packets, while cvsup was running...) If I telnet to a remote machine, I get relatively steady 'hangs' there also, where a screen refresh will clear the screen, then redraw part of the screen, pause, redraw a bit more, pause, etc...with the pausing being up to a minute or more. And, again, a ping doesn't show much packet loss, or much change in ping times (~300ms on a 33.6 modem).. Not sure if that presents near enough information for an educated guess/suggestion, but its all I can think of right now :( Marc G.
