I configured sup yesterday to update pkgsrc as per the instructions at:

http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/software/packages.html#setting_up_pkgsrc

But it does'nt work:

SUP 8.26 (4.3 BSD) for system software at Feb 21 06:55:00
SUP Upgrade of current-pkgsrc at Mon Feb 21 06:55:05 2000
SUP Fileserver 8.13 (4.3 BSD) 9782 on chur.math.ntnu.no at 06:55:05
SUP Requesting changes since Jan  1 01:00:00 1970
SUP: Network write timed out
SUP: Buffering already enabled
SUP: Error sending needed files list to file server
SUP: Upgrade of current-pkgsrc aborted at Feb 21 07:09:14 2000
SUP: Buffering already enabled
SUP: Aborted

My box sits behind an ISDN router with dynamic IP address, it hangs up
after 30 seconds of inactivity. You can see that it is connected for about
15 minutes before failing. sup consumes CPU time in most of those 15
minutes. I run NetBSD 1.4.1 and chose sup.no.netbsd.org.
