Hi all,

I've just joined this list after installing netBSD 1.3.2 on my SE/30,
and I'm trying to graduate from unix newbie to beginner.

IPNAT is now working on my SE/30 thanks mostly to the help of  Armen
Babikyan.

Basically the SE/30's job is to act as a gateway for my mini home LAN,
it dials my 56k modem and routes traffic via a crossover cable to my G3
running either MacOS or mklinux.

The problem I am having is that d/l speeds from the G3 connected to the
gateway are about half what they are if the modem is used directly from
the G3 under any OS ( ~2k/sec vs. >5k/sec).

BSD reports numerous "silo overflows" (between 5 and 40) every few
minutes under network traffic.

I've got no idea what these are!

The SE/30 has an Asante ethernet card - not sure of model etc.....

Any ideas out there???

One other question, Paul Goyette's ppp kit provides dial-on-demand for
those that have static IPs, but he suggests that this is impossible for
dynamically assigned IPs.   Is this still the case?

Cheers,
Hugh
