Howdy, I have a FreeBSD gateway with user ppp configured for my home LAN. Works great, no problems but the speed does seem a little slow. I was wondering how do I go about finding out the connection speed and determining how fast the tranfer rate is. Also I was curious as to what factors hinder PPPs performance. This box has very little RAM and a couple of daemons running, tetrinet-x, apache, postgres postmaster, qmail + tcpserver and sshd. OKay, a few more than a couple but I figure they lay dormant most of the time. I have observerd top during an ftp from my work, I am 3 hops from my desktop\laptop and connected to a 2M line, the only bottleneck is the modem. Top reported next to nothing in activity or memory usage. I have a Dynalink 56k modem, the gateway is a 486dx2-66 (a compaq prolinea *cringe*) with 8Mb on board (embedded) and 8Mb additional, so 16Mb total. ppp.conf: set device /dev/cuaa0 set log Phase Chat LCP IPCP CCP tun command set speed 115200 set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \"\" AT OK-AT-OK ATE1Q0M0 OK \\dATDT\\T TIMEOUT 40 CONNECT" set timeout 120 set ifaddr 202.89.128.130/0 10.0.0.2/0 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0 add default HISADDR papchap: set redial random set server +portno. passwd set phone xxx-xxxx set authname username set authkey passwd Any help would be great.
