All my friends and I all use 56k modems. Most of the time, when I start up ppp, everything on the Web downloads at about 300 bytes/sec, which is terribly slow. So then I kill ppp, and restart ppp, and suddenly everything is downloading at a decent speed (about 5 kb/s) just like in Windows. Maybe it is something I didn't put in my ppp.conf file. I would appreciate any suggestions. Thank you, Korey _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
