It's a program to output data about your connection, supplied with
Genesis. Here's the first, and relevant, p0art of the output
tcp:
6453 packets sent
182 data packets (9487 bytes)
0 data packets (0 bytes) retransmitted
5692 ack-only packets (4515 delayed)
0 URG only packets
0 window probe packets
494 window update packets
85 control packets
6993 packets received
267 acks (for 9531 bytes)
96 duplicate acks
0 acks for unsent data
4998 packets (6760377 bytes) received in-sequence
62 completely duplicate packets (86554 bytes)
A large number of duplicate packets is a sign that something isn't
right, usually serial port overruns. The result is that you get a much
lower effective transfer speed because so much data has to be
transmitted twice. In this example it's just over 1% of packets
retransmitted, no problem at all, but higher figures are usually caused
by too high a serial setting. On most Amigas, including 060 ones, 57600
works faster than 115200.
