Cindy,

Expertise on netbsd 1.3 may be hard to find; it may be a case of UTSL.

If netbsd 1.3 has sysctl, i'd use sysctl -a | grep tcp | grep space to
verify that the tcp limits were indeed increased; and double-check
that rfc1323 (PAWS) is turned on.

Then i'd check that the kernel variable sb_max is large enough for the
buffers you want to allocate. (if 1.3.x has sb_max, that'd be my
guess; its usually around 240k on a 1.4 system).

Last, if all those look OK, i'd then try running the ttcp as root, if
you hadn't already done that.
