There is a problem with Ultrix versions 3.0 and 3.1 that causes large
data transfers through DECservers to fail. This was discussed in this
newsgroup a month or so ago... unfortunately I don't have a copy of the
articles. To my knowledge, DEC has still not come out with a fix for the
problem. Has anyone heard differently? What is the current status of
the bug?
