I'm using the latest version of the Clarkson CUTCP software with a WD8003E
ethernet card.  The software seems to be working most of the time, but I
am having intermittent problems with server mode.  Whenever I FTP to my
PC from another PC running the Stanford TCP/IP package (some derivation
of the CMU stuff), I can log on successfully, but all file transfers
hang.  Later, I see error messages on my PC about "Packet received for
invalid port - reset sent".  Once a file transfer has hung, all attempts
to connect to my PC fail, adding more of these messages.  I've been able
to successfully FTP files from my PC using a Unix machine, but sometimes
I am unable to connect, and I get the same error message on my PC.  Once
the PC is stuck, I need to kill Telnet and restart it.  Since my PC is
at home, this is a bit inconvenient.  Any ideas, anyone?  I usually just
leave Telnet running in a Desqview window.  Does server mode only work
if it is started fresh?  (I did invoke telnet with -s)
