Re: [MiNT] Observations, MiNT 1.16.1

Hi, Peter
FTP is EasyMiNT FTP, using a modem, no ethernet card yet, and no problems formatting floppy disks, for which I have been using Discus.
I use a unix shell account, dialup local for a ppp link, and telnet there, avoiding a lot of potential problems. 

Have not tried any of the other things you tried.

Jim

1. Have heard that this version number and the inability to send
large e-mail were related. I watched a FTP session halt, and at
least the screen halted, for no apparent reason, so I rebooted
and used 1.15.12 to get files downloaded. Of course, shutdown did
not run.



Hi Jim,

You are the first person to confirm this problem. :-) At least I
am not going mad.

Not sure what ftp package you are running but I have found this
freeze happens in MyMail, Newsie (mail and ftp), aFTP and even
stops Highwire from downloading large image files.

What network driver are you using ? I find this problem does not
happen with a modem only when using the rtl8139 card.

Do you have problems formatting floppy discs ?

Regards,

Peter
