Hey David,
>W95(MTU=1500)-ethernet--(MTU=1006)eth0:Linux:diald(MTU1500)-phone-internet
Just curious, why did you have a MTU of 1006 in the first place?

Eouch! You know.. I bet the *majority* of you out there are
running TCP window sizes of "0". Wanna SERIOUSLY increase the
performance on your internal LAN and Cablemodem users?

----------------------------------
Network Optimization:
Both Slackware and Redhat, out of the box, do NOT optimize the TCP/IP window
size. This can make a BIG difference with performance:
Redhat5:
Edit "/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup"
and around lines 119 and 134, find the lines:
"route add -net ${NETWORK} netmask ${NETMASK} ${DEVICE}"
and
"route add default gw ${GATEWAY} ${DEVICE}"
and change them to:
"route add -net ${NETWORK} netmask ${NETMASK} window 8192 ${DEVICE}"
and
"route add default gw ${GATEWAY} window 8192 ${DEVICE}"
Slackware:
Edit /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1" and around lines 47
and 49, find the following text (note: your
setup might look a little different so make
any changes that are needed for your setup)
"/sbin/route add -net ${NETWORK} netmask ${NETMASK} eth0"
and
"if [ ! "$GATEWAY" = "" ]; then
/sbin/route add default gw ${GATEWAY} netmask 0.0.0.0 metric 1
fi"
and replace them with the following:
"/sbin/route add -net ${NETWORK} netmask ${NETMASK}
window 8192 eth0"
and
"if [ ! "$GATEWAY" = "" ]; then
/sbin/route add default gw ${GATEWAY} netmask 0.0.0.0
window 8192 metric 1
fi"

David, a serial rate of 115200 is INVALID in Linux. You have to use
the SETSERIAL command and set the specific COM port to a rate of 38400
and then set the "SPD_VHI" switch to get 115200. This is also in the
TrinityOS doc.
