Ehm.. on our news server:
4.2BSD based fragmenting router between here and 194.235.77.135, mtu corrected f
rom 1500 to 1480
4.2BSD based fragmenting router between here and 194.235.77.130, mtu corrected f
rom 1068 to 1048
[repeat hunderds of times]
These are dynamic IP adresses of dialin customers. Between them and the
newsserver is just a linux 1.2.13-based terminal server. Most of the
customers are running Trumpet 2.0b (yup, the old one).
Does Linux 1.2.13 or Trumpet have the same 4.2 bug?
