I have the following problem with MaacTCP concerning transfert of data between a MacIIfx with an Ethernet board and a Unix machine (Silicon Graphics): I have a buffer of N characters which pointer I store in the wds in combination with the length (N) but it is sent as a block of N-2 and a block of 1 character (the last one). The next to last character is lost. I am reading N characters on the Unix side but only N-2 are actually there (no garbage, no trailing zeros). The only way I have found to solve that is to specify a size of N+2 and just my N characters are transmitted. Has anybody witnessed this problem before and found a cure for it? Thanks.
