Here is an example

iscar% fetch ftp://ftp.sentex.net/netscape95.exe
Receiving netscape95.exe (3512832 bytes): 100%
3512832 bytes transferred in 28.0 seconds (122.50 kBps)
iscar%=20

But to=20

iscar% fetch ftp://ftp.isc.org/isc/bind9/9.2.1/bind-9.2.1.tar.gz
Receiving bind-9.2.1.tar.gz (5021044 bytes): 0%^C
24684 bytes transferred in 153.6 seconds (160.71 Bps)
fetch: transfer interrupted

This was after about 2.5 minutes.


This same machine connected to an SMS works fine.

e.g. from my home (farther away from the CO)
cage# fetch ftp://ftp.isc.org/isc/bind9/9.2.1/bind-9.2.1.tar.gz
Receiving bind-9.2.1.tar.gz (5021044 bytes): 9%^C
480612 bytes transferred in 4.9 seconds (95.12 kBps)
fetch: transfer interrupted

No problems. Before deploying the machine connected to the ERX, it worked
great against the SMS as did/does all our other deployed FreeBSD boxes.

But with Roaring Penguin installed, no problems. With a machine behind a
ciso 827, no problem. Running LINUX, no problem.

Any thoughts on what to try next ?
