Apologies if I'm going over an old (though I'm a newbie) problem but it's become a real pain. Download speeds using Konqueror on a dial-up connection have never been better than 300b/sec whereas using Win98 (sorry) I can expect at least 2.5k/sec unless things are really busy. Trying to do a Yast update of 5.8Mb I gave up after 2.5 hours and I hadn't even got the first package downloaded. I hate to admit that I've used 98 to download most of the files for KDE3.1!! Changed mtu and mru in ppp/options file settings to 276 (believe these to be appropriate for dial-up) but when I connect it gets reset to 1500. Any help in tweaking settings so that I can get reasonable dowloads would be much appreciated. Thanks (and apologies again if I'm raising an old topic) Jim MacLeod

Well, I have a not-so-newbe idea for your problem. It could be, that others have smoother ideas, so I think you shouldn't make this at once. Wait for other opinions, too. There is a script named /etc/ppp/ip-up.local. Perhaps you must create it first and give it chmod +x. This script will be run _after_ a successful connect. So my example ip-up.local for you would be: #------------ #! /bin/sh /sbin/ifconfig $1 mtu 276 #----------- The $1 will be filled with the name of your dial-up interface automatically from the ppp daemon. The whole command will set the mtu on your dial-up device to the value you want. I don't know, if 276 is good, I never had a modem... By the way: This has nothing to do with KDE, so this list might be the wrong one.... Greets, Daniel
