by I don't know if this is normal but when I use SLIP to establish a link
to SLIP server that I use, I connect at 14.4k with everything seeming to be
normal... Dip is set to 57600 baud and the domain server and gateway respond.
I'm currently running a 486/33 with a USR ROBOTICS SPORTSTER 14.4 FAXMODEM and
experience no problems when I use slip in ... dos (yuck.)
All the transmissions seem to go unusually slow in linux though:
I'm getting 800cps transfer times for TEXT files in ftp. Telnet access
degrades significantly sometimes if I open up two telnet links. I have set
my MTU to speeds ranging from 256 to 1500, with no real affect. Is there that
much overhead in slip? Any ideas?
