Interactive connections seen to be OK and 'rcp' works, but FTP does not. FTP file transfers complete with out an error message, but the file is short. Seems that on a slow link (i.e. SLIP) the close connection indication reaches the receiver before the last data packets. We have not tried the new ix386 2.2 package yet to see if the problem still exists.
