Well if it helps. under 2.1.129 i get these "TCPv4 bad checksum"
errors.. im on a p166, 64meg ram 2x 16550 and 2x 16C650 UART's (all
running on seperate IRQ's)
the modem is on ttyS1.. (a 16550), the modem is a USRobotics V.90 Courier
DS.. it connects to USR/3Com Total Control gear via the same modem
technology..
Connect rate at present is 14400 v32bis (my perm connection is a fixed
rate, modem is capable of higher connects to the generic dialup pool)
I get back checkups from Linux servers sitting on the otherside of the TC
racks only 2 hops from my box.. also from FreeBSD and BSDI boxes..
I dont think it discriminates :)
Any more clues from this?
[23:39:43] root:~# ifconfig ppp0
ppp0 Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol
inet addr:203.31.83.230 P-t-P:203.60.16.180 Mask:255.255.255.0
UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING MTU:1064 Metric:1
could it be something to do with the size of the MTU/MRU?
(both are set to 1064)
Regards, Jim.
