We have several ethernets that will shortly be linked using intelligent bridges and 9600 baud digital lines. The primary purpose of this is to allow PCs to act as terminals (using telnet) over the link. We would like to have the use of ftp available, but don't want it to interfere with the response of the telnet sessions. What means (short of disabling ftp during working hours and implementing some sort of batching mechanism) are available to me? It WOULD be nice to have ftp always available, but only sending packets when the line is free (e.g. with low priority packets), although I guess this is nigh on impossible with bridging instead of routing. Any/all suggestions gratefully received - please mail me and I will summarise. -- Mark Wright. Dept. of Survey and Land Information,NZ. email: mark@dosli.govt.nz phone: 64 4 710-380 ext 8688
