Thank you, but `we' [allow me to use we in this as meaning the whole of the project] are also prone to make mistakes and that should always be considered a possibility. >I am running kppp for dialup (from the KDE >project), and using pppd (Kernel), I get real >slow downloads. Second observation: why are you running kppp? Userland ppp is much more maintained, stable and way better. >So, anyone can give me some authoritative answer >for this problem, where to look, what to change >and test, or how to get the connection and >downloads to be faster, please give me a hint. I am in no way authorative, nor is it, given your lack of proper background information, possible to determine what may be the exact cause. Ask yourself this: - Are you programmer enough or wellversed in FreeBSD to actually have a valid reason to run CURRENT? - What made you use pppd and not ppp? - How will I get good answers from this forum if I do not provide enough information?
