[comp.protocols.tcp-ip.ibmpc] PC-NFS using cisco terminal server SLIP

remaker@icarus.amd.com (Phillip Remaker) (08/03/90)

OK, cisco and Sun are avoiding this question, so I'll ask the net:

Has anyone been able to get the cisco terminal server implementation
of SLIP to work with PCNFS?  It works fine for me until some big packets
come along for any reason.  The easiest way to induce failure is by
attempting an ftp transfer of a large file.

It runs fine (albeit clow) during a barrage of small packets, but once
a 1k+ packet comes along (size courtesy etherfind and cisco's "debug
slip"), the PC-NFS hangs until reboot as the host diligently resends
the large packets which PC-NFS systematically ignores.

Changing the MTU was no help.

Is this a cisco problem or a PC-NFS problem (my bet is the latter).
And can anyone from Sun tell me when PC-NFS will SLIP at 19.2 or 38.4
kbits/sec?

Thanks for your help!
