Subject: Framebuffer overflow halts network Sorry to bother you "privately", but I can't find much info of the use of framebuffer after it is installed. I have set up my primary work machine (i.e. it is mostly used as a terminal to connect to other servers) with framebuffer and have 64 lines*160 chars in a pretty font. I ssh to other servers from this machine. If I do something which create a lot of output, eg. ls -lR /, the remote machine sends more data than the framebuffer-terminal can handle. This blocks the network on the terminal machine, which also is nameserver, internal webserver and upsd server. Is it possible to set up some sort of flow control, so the remote machine stops when the terminal is overloaded? Both servers are 100Mb, on different switches, which are connected at 100Mb The terminal is on a Cisco, the other on a cheaper 24ports switch. If you can't help me, can you direct me in the proper direction? Leif |
