Message-ID: <38515@cup.portal.com> Date: 27 Jan 91 04:24:46 GMT References: <16286@chopin.ude l.edu> Organization: The Portal System (TM) Lines: 27 Michael, This isn't an Atari-related message, but I noticed you work for SGI... I work for a company which sells turnkey Digital Image Recorder systems, based on the DEC MicroVAX computer. Some of the systems we've placed in the field are configured to connect, via Ethernet, to SGI-based turnkey graphics workstations, and we've had some incompatibility problems. Evi- dence suggests it may be a TCP/IP "tuning" problem, either on the VAX or on the SGI box; I have software tools for manipulating the VAX side but there appears to be NOTHING on the SGI system(s) for examining or tweaking Ethernet interface parameters. I don't presume that you, yourself, necessarily know ANYTHING about this -- but I wonder if you could recommend anyone I could talk to about it? I've found it impossible to approach SGI on the "authority" of my customer's SGI service contract, because THAT expired before SGI had even gotten my customer's system up-and-running, and my customer is loath to pay by the hour for out-of-contract assistance. I am hoping that as a "fellow vendor" I might bypass this bottleneck. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance for anything you can suggest.
