Multilink/Advanced options

Advanced options
================

    You can use these tooltypes to alter various lowlevel aspects of
Multilink's behavior.  I suggest that if you're not sure what these are for
or what they do, that you do not mess with them.  Most of them are not
going to make Multilink any faster.  In fact, most of them will make it
slower, and are intended for special circumstances.

    UNIXCPS
        This is exactly the same as the CPS option except it refers only to
        the speed of data from the UNIX host to your Amiga.  Multilink
        defaults to using the same pacing speed in both directions.  If you
        need to have a differing speed in each direction, then use CPS for
        Amiga->UNIX and UNIXCPS for UNIX->Amiga.

    TIMEOUT
        Sets the timeout period for packets.  The default is based on the
        pacing speed you use.  If you're getting a lot of resent packets,
        it might behove you to set the timeout to a high value.  If
        recovery after a bad packet takes a long time, you might want to
        set it lower.

    PACKETSIZE
        Sets the maximum packet size.  The default and true maximum is
        2047.  You may set the packetsize anywhere from 1 to 2047.

    SERVFILE
        Specifies a file from which to look up inet service names before
        asking the UNIX host.  Multilink defaults to just asking the remote
        UNIX host for the names and ports.  This option is used to allow
        custom service names, so that one can run daemons launched by inetd
        with Mlink.
