Assuming that's right, try "noccp" on the Linux box. I see that you've negotiated CCP with the Deflate algorithm. That never would have happened when talking to a Windows system, and it's possible that one side or the other has bugs with data compression. The symptoms of bugs there would be _exactly_ what you're now seeing. -- James Carlson
