After seeing Marco Baringer's slime movie, I am trying to connect from Emacs (v. 21.3.1) running on my Windows machine to cmucl running on my Linux machine using the instructions provided by Andy Sloane (http://a1k0n.net/blah/archives/2005/11/04/T18_00_44/index.html). All of the intermediate steps seem to be working, but when I try to "M-x my-box-slime" I get the following error.

error in process filter: byte-code: net-read error: (cl-assertion-failed (plusp length)) error in process filter: net-read error: (cl-assertion-failed (plusp length))

Any ideas? Thanks.

I updated both slime and cmucl to latest versions and the error disappeared. Thanks. -bruce
