Hi...
I'm having a strange problem with my modem, and am wondering if
anyone has any ideas...
I'm running FreeBSD 3.0-CURRENT, and due to the problem, figured I'd
spend tonight upgrading my system. Previously, was running a July 12th
kernel...
The problem *appears* to be temporary network lag, except that ping
reports something around a 1% packet loss. Right now, I'm trying to cvsup
down the new source tree, and it is just hanging there, altho a ping runs
perfectly (the 1% packet loss was on 75 packets, while cvsup was running...)
If I telnet to a remote machine, I get relatively steady 'hangs'
there also, where a screen refresh will clear the screen, then redraw part of
the screen, pause, redraw a bit more, pause, etc...with the pausing being
up to a minute or more. And, again, a ping doesn't show much packet loss,
or much change in ping times (~300ms on a 33.6 modem)..
Not sure if that presents near enough information for an educated
guess/suggestion, but its all I can think of right now :(
