Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I have two FreeBSD 4.0 boxes connected via a parallel cable interface lp0. One of them uses PPP over phone line to connect to the outside world. If I do a ftp/telnet on the PPP machine, it works fine. If I do ftp/telnet on the other machine, it times out. I am wondering whether IP over parallel cable is just too slow that it can only connect two machines directly. Thanks for any help. -Zhihui To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
