When doing remote dumps from our SUN/3 to our VAX/750 we sometimes get a 'connection lost' message. Dumps sit there idle for quite a while and the 750 tends to be quite loaded (also, the bus is a lot more loaded than I like, DR11-W, Deuna, Tape, UDA50, 1 DMF32, 3 Able boards.) It's annoying because a long dump has to be restarted. Any ideas or fixes known? (the Vax runs 4.2bsd, the SUN/3 release 3.0.) The dumps would be traveling over the Deuna on the same ethernet as the SUN. I suspect the VAX but don't see anything obvious, things usually work quite well. Thanks in advance. -Barry Shein, Boston University
