I have a link from my PC to a distant (network-wise) machine, that drops
packets very often. Using ping, I find that about 20% of the packets are
dropped regularly -- sometimes 40%, sometimes 10%. But never 0.

Who is responsible to retry the packet transmission on an open socket? Are
there any parameters, that I should set either in Winsock, or the application?

I have HUGE problems using telnet and Imap (from pine.) On the other hand http
and ftp work normally.

How come? What to do?

P.S. I'm using Trumpet Winsock 2.0b on my pc and pine-3.91 for Winsock.
