Will anyone be posting a specially compiled version of grinos or jnos
that uses the 386 optimization available in BC++ 3.1? I haven't been
able to find anything like this......

Folks,
Ron sent the following message to me but intended to send it to the
group. Here it is.
Cheers, john...

Why is it that I can ping uhm.ampr.org, and gw.n5snn.ampr.org and
ucsd.edu sometimes, but other times I can't. This happens from two
different networks. One has a Internet connection in NY and one get's
it's Internet connection in Austin, Tx. I don't think that it's a
local problem at both sites.
I'm in the process of setting up a new gateway in the Dallas area.
I've got the PC set up and running JNOS. I was getting a lot of
Ibuffail counts, and the PC looked like it was going deaf after about
an hour of use. I've played with the memory parms and I think I've got
the Ibuffail problem fixed, but I'm still having problems getting to
the machine. I decided to ping some other sites I know are
active, and I couldn't get there either. So now, I'm not sure if its
a problem with the new box, or the internet in general.
Anyone have any ideas. Am I wrong in my belief that ampr.org stuff
goes thru ucsd.edu? Have there been problems with ucsd.edu lately?
What TCP Window settings and timings should I be using. Any info would
be appreciated.

If you lose connectivity to all three at the same time then there's
probably a route being knocked out of operation between you and ucsd.
Try running traceroute to ucsd when the connection is good and bad and
compare the lists.

If your packets are entering the Internet through one of the
established subnet-44 gateways, chances are those packets go directly
to the other gateway that serves the destination ampr host. Otherwise
they're punted to a router at ucsd which may or may not have a better
idea of the correct routing.
