SCO TCP/IP for Unix V/386

[Colin Manning]

We have just installed TCP/IP (release 1.1.0 Lachman Ass. version)
for SCO Unix System V/386 v3.2.

I am experiencing various problems including:

- it seems to messg up your hard disk requiring fsck's about once a week. 
- it seems to lose data on tcp connections (e.g telnet in, cat a large file - 
  you seem to consistantly lose chunks of the file, especially at the end).
- every so often you have to reboot because you cant make a connection to 
  the machine even though it is idle, no one is logged in etc etc
- ftp server has significant differences from the RFC specification.
  E.g the NLST command returns directory names aswell as filenames, a
  STOR command does not overwrite a file when it should do, ...
- time server does not seem to work. Enable line in inetd.conf to turn it 
  on and it ignores received requests.


We dont use the machine much so it is not a loading problem.
We use a WD8003 ethernet card. Machine is a 20Mhz 4Mb RAM Tandon 386.

Incidentally everything else in SCO Unix has worked fine for us and on
the whole seems pretty robust. Its just the tcp we are having problems with.

Does anyone out there have any similar experiences. 

Also does anyone know how good the TCP/IP in Interactive Systems Unix is ?


Thanks in advance,

- Colin.
