I recently compiled the MIT PC-IP package from harvard.edu.  Unfortunately
the performance thus far is less than desirable.  For some odd reason the
ping server seems to drop packets the first few packets.  The packets it
decides to return come back with an 8000 ms. delay.  Telnet also breaks
when talking to a SUN 4/110 running SUN OS 4.0.  Soon after login the
connection goes into slow mode and character echo seems to take forever.
Turning on the TCP debugging flag shows that the machine is retransmitting
each packet several times.  It then receives an ACK for each packet
sent after doing about 8 seconds of nothing.  Has anyone else had these
problems?  I compiled PC-IP under MSC 5.1.
