What gives??? Is it yes or no???

Checksum enabled (Y/N)
     Specifies whether or not checksumming will be enabled
     in the local configuration. *** [Checksumming causes
     significant overhead and is not normally needed for
     this protocol; therefore, HP recommends the default
     value (N) for this field unless communication to a
     non-HP machine is desired.] *** (Note that checksumming
     may be done anyway if determined by the destination
     path report in the network directory or by the
     values specified in the NetIPC intrinsics, IPCCONNECT
     and IPCRECVCN.)
     Default Value: N
     Range:  Y or N

i agree!

we were having horrible problems with ftp off of our 995.  with lots of
advice
(from the list and hp), i change several tcp settings and the checksum
setting
in nmmgr.  we went from 3/4/5/6 hour ftp transfers to < 2 hours...and
haven't
had any trouble since!           - d
