Is there something in > the TCP stuff I need to look for? What run level did you install the TCP at? I always follow convention and put networking at run level 3. Then I edit /etc/conf/init.d/whatever to set the default run level to 2. That way you can see the effect of active TCP instead of passive stuff. I have a 'neton' login, no password, that does a telinit 3. With Belltech/Intel V.3.2u, with Lachman TCP/IP: when I have TCP running the performance of the serial port drops dramatically, and I get about 1 in 50 characters lost even at typing speeds. > I know squat about networking > software, but I learn fast if I know where to look. Could the problem > go away when I connect it to the office net? Hasn't for me. You might try playing with the run level as I suggested. -- `-_-' Peter da Silva . 'U` -------------- +1 713 274 5180.
