Its is a 28.8kbps modem, the port speed is 38400 (My ISP runs their ports at 38400), the PC is a 486DX2-66, 12MB ram, 16550 serial ports, and does not run under heavy load. Note this problem only occurs when the transfer is outgoing, and seems more pronounced when the ftp session is started the on remote end. Are there any known bugs in the user-mode PPP that would cause this kind of thing. Anthony Hill ahill@netspace.net.au
