We have a PC running unter MS-DOS 3.30 connected via COM-Port to a Unix-Box: MX300 / SINIX 5.2.1 . We tried this constellation for the fist time. Telnet works ok. over slip. FTP also seems to work. But with lager files it happens, that the resulting file at the server-site or at client site has zero length. 'Larger files' means files > 1 K. At the SINIX side there is a maximum for the size of the file to be transported over 'slip'. It is set to 512 K. In the pc-nfs-Manual we don't find a closer documentation about SLIP. Besides we still use pc-nfs 3.0. But we didn't hear about pc-nfs 3.01 correcting this kind of error. Perhaps someone has experience with slip under pc-nfs and can give me some advice ? What is the data-frame-size for 'slip' under 'pcnfs'? As network-card we use the WD 8003 EB board. Thank your very much in advance for your help and interest !
