I don't think that I'm the only one who gets to the net via SLIP, and this problem didn't have an obvious solution. What made it look even worse was that it only affected connections to other FreeBSD machines. If left without an easily found explanation, even though FreeBSD is "doing the right thing", this feature could harm FreeBSD's reputation. I've heard that TTCP over slip with header compress is a losing configuration anyhow. Can we disable it in that configuration? > >-- >Garrett A.
