Hi again... Lets get this out of the way right now: system: 486/33 ISA with 1.2 gig IDE drive and 16 megs RAM OS: FreeBSD 2.0 I'm having a hard time with the pppd. I can get it to connect and run with no problem but I can't seem to get more than about .5 k/sec over a 28.8 modem no matter what I do. Also, the link seems to be chunky and unresponsive. It gives me some good bursts for a second or so but then hangs for a couple of seconds. I've tried changing the handshakeing but this doesn't seem to help. I've also tried changing the modem on the other end as well as the provider on the other end and it didn't help. I have even tried replacing the modem on my end with the same results. The interesting thing about that was I still got the same performance (~ .5k/sec) but the modem I replaced the 28.8 with was a 14.4. I thought this showed the problem to be a serial port problem so I tried tipping into my provider and doing a sz/rz of a file and got a throughput of about 3k/sec! 6 times as fast! Am I missing something here? I've been going at this for about a month and really haven't gotten anywere. (except a screwed machine on a few occations :) Thanks for any help! Geoff.
