Recently I installed SLIP on our Symmetry: Sequent SLIP distribution 1.5 from Research Institute for Advanced Computer Science. We have two V.29 modems on each side. It wouldn't work at all running 9600 baud HDX. We assumed this was because it didn't turnaround fast enough for SLIP to successfully run. We then tried 2400 baud FDX. It worked fine for line 10 minutes. Then I get lots of: sl0: silo overflow messages, and my net [on the Symmetry] hangs. The only solution found was to reboot. Since then, we have been running it on a Sun-3/260 running "SLIP for SunOS 4.0." It works find at the lower baudrate. Is there a number I can tweak in the Symmetry SLIP that will give it more buffer space? Is that what is needed? Thanks for any help, -- Warren
