Regards managers !

At last I got a reply from one of the DEC engineers guiding me how to alter
the tcp timer settings in patch OSF350-146 (now superceded by OSF350-195).
The answer is that there's no other useful way but to patch the kernel via
dbx -k followed by a reboot. 4.0 have possibilities for fixing via
'sysconfig'.

Thanks to John Dustin <jsd_at_zk3.dec.com>

>From the Original Posting:

We have installed patch OSF350-146 which addresses some network problems
encountered by heavy traffic web servers. Among other things this patch is
supposed to contain some tcp tuning variables (e.g.
tcp_rexmit_interval_min) but I'm not able to find any subsystem (via
sysconfig -q) in which these variables belong. The README file accompanying
the patch does not emphasize this either. So: where to edit to alter these
variables ?
