ESIX woes. (serial performance)

[Peter da Silva]

What TCP/IP does ESIX come with?

What run level did you install the TCP at? I always follow convention and
put networking at run level 3. Then I edit /etc/conf/init.d/whatever to
set the default run level to 2. That way you can see the effect of active
TCP instead of passive stuff. I have a 'neton' login, no password, that does
a telinit 3.

With Belltech/Intel V.3.2u, with Lachman TCP/IP: when I have TCP running
the performance of the serial port drops dramatically, and I get about
1 in 50 characters lost even at typing speeds.

Hasn't for me. You might try playing with the run level as I suggested.
