sorry I am not following you .. what do you mean by "will not be able to transmit any data as long as you don't issue an "rtifconfig rtethX mac down" ". But what if the client does not return from prompt after 'rtcfg rteth0 ready', which i manually ^C it out. TDMA is definitely not synchronised properly.. will RTmac still work between the those two statiosn? > > Sorry .. forgot to add.. how has it been done for you guys for the > > server to wait for signals ? > > > > Well, didn't get this yet.
