Hi Jeremy,

Unfortunately I have a similar problem. One box is running 1.6,
the other is 1.6.1_RC2. I set it up this way:

On the first box:
	slattach /dev/tty01
	ifconfig sl0 192.168.0.2 192.168.0.1


On the second:
	slattach /dev/tty00
	ifconfig sl0 192.168.0.1 192.168.0.2

I am connecting via ftp from "first" to "second", doing "get /netbsd",
but regularly it stops working after some time. I have never
been able to get as little as 500KB of this file.
Suddenly (but it happens every time) it stops working,
and even ping does not work. I don't do anything in either box
when the transfer takes place.

When I kill slattach and set everything up again, it works again,
but again fails after some activity.

I don't think it's ftp what causes problems, but "high" traffic
has been a very reliable way to stop it working every time I tried.
I haven't seen this problem when I only used telnet or ssh.

I have tried doing this with "default" speed and with 115200 as well,
both misbehave.
