Your ping times sound good to me. Here are results that I'm getting between my host (which has 10mb ethernet connectivity all the way to the ANS backbone) and a friends machine (which has 28800 SLIP connectivity to a T1 connection) through traceroute (first) and ping (second). 1 DORM-RTR.NET.CMU.EDU (128.2.75.254) 6.178 ms 5.197 ms 4.408 ms 2 CMU-DEFAULT.NET.CMU.EDU (128.2.1.2) 6.216 ms 9.977 ms 9.83 ms 3 PSC-GW-1.NET.CMU.EDU (128.2.2.1) 5.486 ms 7.41 ms 4.828 ms 4 enss.psc.edu (192.88.114.253) 13.127 ms 8.985 ms 8.743 ms 5 prep-rtr.psc.edu (192.5.146.7) 13.216 ms 13.977 ms 12.009 ms 6 129.250.200.3 (129.250.200.3) 39.06 ms 78.929 ms 21.052 ms 7 portcullis.galt.com (199.234.1.161) 20.343 ms 23.912 ms 20.151 ms 8 dhp.com (199.234.136.1) 247.586 ms 223.822 ms 296.993 ms PING dhp.com (199.234.136.1): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 199.234.136.1: icmp_seq=0 ttl=247 time=303.404 ms 64 bytes from 199.234.136.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=247 time=356.554 ms 64 bytes from 199.234.136.1: icmp_seq=2 ttl=247 time=285.851 ms 64 bytes from 199.234.136.1: icmp_seq=3 ttl=247 time=315.565 ms --- dhp.com ping statistics --- 4 packets transmitted, 4 packets received, 0% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max = 285.851/315.344/356.554 ms > I have a link running and it shows 200 ms. The ftp rate is significantly > below 1KB/s. I would expect better then 1k/s. What speed are you running the serial port at (it should be at least 38.4k) and do you have hardware handshaking on? I can usually get about 3k/s to the above machine. alex
