Here is an example iscar% fetch ftp://ftp.sentex.net/netscape95.exe Receiving netscape95.exe (3512832 bytes): 100% 3512832 bytes transferred in 28.0 seconds (122.50 kBps) iscar% But to iscar% fetch ftp://ftp.isc.org/isc/bind9/9.2.1/bind-9.2.1.tar.gz Receiving bind-9.2.1.tar.gz (5021044 bytes): 0%^C 24684 bytes transferred in 153.6 seconds (160.71 Bps) fetch: transfer interrupted This was after about 2.5 minutes. This same machine connected to an SMS works fine. e.g. from my home (farther away from the CO) cage# fetch ftp://ftp.isc.org/isc/bind9/9.2.1/bind-9.2.1.tar.gz Receiving bind-9.2.1.tar.gz (5021044 bytes): 9%^C 480612 bytes transferred in 4.9 seconds (95.12 kBps) fetch: transfer interrupted No problems. Before deploying the machine connected to the ERX, it worked great against the SMS as did/does all our other deployed FreeBSD boxes. But with Roaring Penguin installed, no problems. With a machine behind a ciso 827, no problem. Running LINUX, no problem. Any thoughts on what to try next ? ---Mike Mike Tancsa ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Sentex Communications Corp, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada "Given enough time, 100 monkeys on 100 routers could setup a national IP network."
