Status: OR
There's a bug in the README -- it indicates that str_conf.c should be
changed to add
{ "slipen", &slipencode },
but it should actually be
{ "slipe", &slipencode },
When done the wrong way, slip-attach gives EINVAL on the ioctl(I_PUSH)
of "slipe."
I got it going just fine, but was kind of shocked when I found that
the system panics when the line drops. I'm using slip via dialup to a
Pyramid at OSU CIS, the lines are pretty noisy, line drops are common,
and the idea of a system panic for every line drop is a bit on the
offensive side. Do you know of any fix to this code to prevent the
panic? Or are you aware of any other slip packages suitable for 4.1?
I've got Rayan Zachariassen's slip for 4.0, but it is also panicking
my system (Sun4/110, SunOS 4.1.1) with "panic: mclput" when a
significant amount of data is being received via ftp. Does there
exist a known bugfix for mclput, or a change to Rayan's stuff?
Any clues welcome.
cheers,
