The current qe (DEQNA/DELQA) driver has a watchdog timer that jabs the qe after it falls asleep. Generally, the jab happens before a TCP connection will time out, but in some situations this could cause the problem. The fix is to replace the DEQNA with a DELQA (at least, so say DEC). -- In-Real-Life: Chris Torek, Univ of MD Comp Sci Dept (+1 301 454 7163) Domain: chris@cs.umd.edu Path: uunet!mimsy!chris
