Ok, I tried it, from rc.conf & from the command line. Didn't
make any difference in the performance. Still around isdn
speed or slower, unlike the other 2 machines on the network.
One is a windows box & one is a slackware server. Not
knowing nearly enough about these type of problems, I have
tried shutting the other 2 boxes down just to see if they were
interfering in some way, but it made no difference. I wish I
knew what went on the 1st time I took out IPv6 & recompiled
the kernel the other day, because for just awhile, as I said
earlier, I was getting really good speeds.
