Hello.

I have a dial up machine with a static IP, as I have a MX record pointing 
to this IP (chain.iafrica.com) A backup mx record exists elsewhere, and 
when I dial-in the system ackknowledges that I am alive and starts 
sending me mail.

All well and good, and everything works. Only, it works VERY slowly :(

I have spoken to Mark Murray and he has helped me quite a bit, but things 
are still not satisfactory. I have looked in the handbook and faq, but 
like any newbie have probably missed some important point.

I am including my ppp.conf and ppp.linkup file, and my sysconfig.
My static IP is 196.7.74.174, and the destination IP is dynamic.

I hope you can help, tia.

---ppp.conf---
default:
 set device /dev/cuaa0
 set speed 38400
 disable lqr
 deny lqr
 set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 10 \"\" AT&f1e0&a3&b1&c1&d2&h1&k3&r2s7=90s6=3  OK-AT-OK \\dATDP\\T TIMEOUT 90 CONNECT" 
chain:
 set phone 6831443
 set login "TIMEOUT 5 login:-\\r-login: Pkhetan word: *******"
 set timeout 120
 set ifaddr 196.7.74.174 0
 add 196.7.74.174 255.255.255.0 0
---ppp.conf---

---ppp.linkup---
