SubjectRe: TCP fix for sluggish rlogin/rsh

   I confirm that your patch seems to work, and work well, between
   Linux machines.

Of course it does, this was my experimental test bed ;-)

   However, there seems to be a problem when communicating between
   Linux machines and Suns. Linux seems to agravate a silly-window
   syndrome on the Sun.

Ok, interesting.

   Here is the result of reading the character-generator on a Linux
   machine.  every time the received packet-length changes, results
   are written.  Otherwise, there is no output from the program.

Ok, these data points are real nice.  However (as I mentioned in
another mail to this list) it is insufficient for me to fix things.  I
need tcpdump output which logs the session showing the bad behavior.
It is also nice to get a tcpdump of good behavior as well, especially
when talking to one TCP implementation shows the problem and another
which doesn't.

So I ask politely that you provide me with tcpdump traces of sessions
exhibiting the bad behavior to SunOS machines.  Thanks. ;-)

Later,
