Message-ID: <1991Jun17.025643.3492@DMI.USherb.CA> Date: 17 Jun 91 02:56:43 GMT Sender: Marc Mazuhelli Organization: Universite de Sherbrooke Lines: 39 Originator: mazu@roselin Nntp-Posting-Host: roselin Hi there, Sorry for the crossposting, but this is kind of related to both sections... A few days ago I finally found the cisco version of NCSA Telnet that works with SLIP (or at least it almost works...). My problem is that I can open a connection, logon to a Unix machine and type a few commands, but all of a sudden the connection hangs (no echo of my input and no output). It always hangs when I issue a command that should give more than a few lines of output (like an ls -l in a directory with about 20 files). Sometimes it even hangs on a command that gives only a few caracters of output (like pwd). I tried it from home on a 2400bps modem and I saw the recv light flash repetitively, as if it was re-sending the info that should appear on my screen, but nothing ever appears. I also tried it from work on a hard-wired connection at 9600 or 19200bps and the same thing happened. When it happens, I can always open other connections but they will eventually hang like the first one. I'm using an Annex III terminal server from Xylogics - it supports SLIP. It works with a PC program (NOS I think - I'm not the one who tested it) so it shouldn't be the Annex's fault. I'm so close I can almost feel it... I would be *very* grateful if someone could help me with this problem... Thank you for your help. -- { Marc Mazuhelli | analyste resp. des labs d'info } { internet: mazu@dmi.USherb.CA | Departement de math-info. } { | Sherbrooke, Quebec, Canada }
