I recently installed the cslip-beta code on a Sun 4/330 running SunOS 4.0.3. The SUN is connected to a PC running KA9Q with the serial port configured for SLIP. These two machines previously had no trouble talking to each other when plain SLIP was running on the SUN. But with CSLIP on the SUN (and nothing changed on the PC), a telnet or ftp connection from either machine to the other results only in a 'connection established' message and nothing more. However, I have no problems pinging either machine from the other. Is there some switch that needs to be set in NOS so that it will handle CSLIP? Looking at the source code for slattach.c I noticed there were some flags that could be set to disable compression so I tried those too. Unfortunately, I got the same results - ping works, but no telnet and no ftp beyond the initial 'connection established' message. Anyone got any clues as to what I might be doing wrong here?

Be aware that the cslipbeta/sunos4 stuff ALWAYS does compressed SLIP. If the remote node can't handle compressed packets, you won't be able to communicate. It is fairly easy to add the code to make it do both. --Ron
