I wonder if > this has to do with the box you are talking to? I should have noted that I was transfering binary files. I always seemed to get 2.0-3.0K/sec on text, though I don't transfer much raw text (I compress it first, since I >assume< that gzip does better than any internal modem compression, I have no way to actually check). I also took a look at what really was on the other side, compared to what I have. I have a U.S. Robotics Sportster 14.4K modem, the machine directly on the other side is a U.S. Robotics Total Control (tm) NETServer 8/16, according to the login prompt. That is connected through a LAN to a router to the rest of the internet. The machine I was transferring from is on the same LAN (It is a 10Mbps ethernet for sure, it appears to be strictly TCP/IP). I noticed the slowdown the moment I ftp'd something after installing the upgraded iijppp. I also noticed the speed up right after I inserted those lines into my ppp.conf file. -- Zach Heilig (zach@blizzard.gaffaneys.com) Support bacteria -- it's the only culture some people have!
