Hi all,
I'm trying to set up a terminal server with
two linux machines: the first answers the modem (with
mgetty) and opens an rlogin connection to the second;
the second starts pppd. The problem is, there's something
wrong with flow control: telnetting through this link,
for instance, takes some 2 minutes to display the login
prompt.
I was pointed to a hacked version of rlogin with
better flow control by Miquel van Smoorenburg, but it
didn't solve the problem. Telnet yelds the same problem.
I'm using rlogin -8E in order to get a clean connection
(no asyncmap needed). Anybody has any clues?
I feel it *might* be due to the ppp being used
as a module; something has changed in the debian kernel
that prevents me from compiling ppp into the kernel,
thanks to bsd_comp.
Explaining better: I got debian by ftp, and had
a problem with ppp as a module, so I compiled it into
thhe kernel. After that, I reconnected to the ftp server
and downloaded it all again. The new kernel package was
probably an updated one, with this "feature". Any solutions?
Thanks already for your time,
Nelson
