I happen to have run into a situation where running PC-XWARE on a 486/75 over SLIP to a VxWorks to cause PC-XWARE to crash! The SLIP connections tested include one over modems and one being a straight link between the 2 boxes. DTE speeds for both modems are 19.2K, and also 19.2K between modems. For straight SLIP, manage to increase the speed to 38.4K. But because the VxWorks box (i960 CPU) does not have hardware flow-control enabled, so it cannot handle anything higher at this point. The X server crashes resulted from the VxWorks boxes trying to open up a GUI window. Thanks. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2i iQCVAwUBMUzyckmThh0X7Um5AQEuPgP+NVJOLAagOYacbXxcDE+zBR0YWPUS6RHM T+OXSraKNko4NUw1QbM5AUIQ1NgUijsWPBQJiEX5OVqMI7yc4bAQ6Pcg1ojvRfbH fmRBN6328XDavCkDwEZQ5F+FO073TD+qs0VC/czeiL8Vp7L9H9Tipfuor4Hlao8Z NISAkmOHCzg= =Mylb -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
