Several months ago, I upgraded from Mandrake 6.1 (kernel 2.0.36, not sure except i know it was a 2.0.x kernel), with which PPP connections worked flawlessly with all of my ISPs. Nice and fast, just how I expect it.
Then I switched to SuSE 6.4 (kernel 2.2.14, but I have tried 2.2.16, 2.3.46 and 2.4.0 test 6 as well), and PPP is very very slow, and stalls a lot. The connection is basically unusable, most web sites download at less than 200 BYTES a second!!
The situation is the same for my 56K modem as well at my old 33.6, both of which worked perfectly under Mandrake 6.1.
In /etc/ppp/peers, add a line with "115200" to the proper file (the peer name). When I first installed Linux, I had to change a couple of things to get a decent modem speed. This was one, setserial was another. -- Robert Wohlfarth rjwohlfar@bigfoot.com "My theory's right.
