[comp.protocols.tcp-ip] Our Serial Link

jbvb@VAX.FTP.COM (James Van Bokkelen) (07/21/88)

807f1964 is a Microvax running Ultrix 2.0, with SLIP added.  The modems are
v.32, 9.6Kb.  The other end of the link is on MIT's subnet 10 (ProNet-10),
and is a Microvax running the MIT "C-gateway code".  Both ends of the link
use DHV-11s.  The Ultrix TCP (unmodified) has occasionally shown a willingness
to fill the SLIP transmit queue with retransmissions, but I have never heard
any other reports of your symptoms.

If you want to tinker, give me a call, and we can see how it works fetching
files from a PC on the LAN that the Ultrix Microvax serves as a gateway for.
I can also run LANWatch, and see exactly what is going on at the packet level.
