(USR Sportster 28k8 voice modem, iijppp, predictor 1 compression enabled, although from `show proto' output it may be using VJ compression instead) My POINT was that I have not noticed a slowdown, as if binary transfer rates have dropped off for some reason, then (I would have thought) text rates would have too... I just didn't have any binary rates to hand at the time as I tend to throw text around a lot more than binary. Gary -- Gary Palmer FreeBSD Core Team Member FreeBSD: Turning PC's into workstations.
