It's even worse on this one. If one attempts to FTP a file larger than about 80k either to or from this Pyramid machine it dies, giving the appearance to user that the system crashed but it eventually comes back after 4-5 minutes. If you use telnet to connect to another machine and "cat" a large text file that also kills it in the same way. The rc.local file does have ifconfig portname -trailers Another strange thing is that users who connect to this machine from a TAC get a 3-4 second pause in terminal output every 192 characters. These have been long-standing problems for about a year now. Pyramid doesn't seem to know how to fix it. --Keith Petersen
