[comp.os.vms] IP/TCP

sqkeith@csvax.liv.ac.uk (05/14/88)

We have just installed IP/TCP version 6.3 on our microVMS 4.7 microVAX II, with
13Mbytes RAM. Our ethernet interface is DEQNA and transceiver is DESTA. This
system also runs a DECnet router using VAX PSI for X.25 access. 

Having installed IPDRIVER, NAMSRV, IPACP, FTP, LPRSMB and LPR_SERVER, we ran a
few tests primarily with FTP and discovered a problem. Any attempt to send a
file from anywhere to the microVAX that is greater than 1023 bytes causes FTP
to hang just before or just after closing the connection/port. It doesn't
appear to affect IPACP though. Eventually, FTP times out with a QIO system
service failure.

This also seems to explain why we cannot spool print jobs (exceeding 1024
bytes) to the microVAX.

Can anybody there suggest a reason as to why we have this 1024 byte limit;
I have already increased NPAGEDYN and IRPCOUNT by the values suggested in
the installation guide for IPACP. I can only assume that I need to tweak
another sysgen parameter or two.

Any help solving this problem would be gratefully received,
