First, let me apologize in advance for using AOL. Unfortunately I have to rely on a friend's access until I can fix this problem. I have searched the web far and wide for a solution to this problem, with no success. 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. As I am on a friend's machine I do not have access to my logs, however when I examine them I can find no error messages. I have tried IRQ tune, setserial to spd_vhi, adjusted the MRU/MTU settings and disabling various compression schemes. Nothing has helped. My system is a Pentium 133MHZ, 32Mb RAM DigiComSys 56K Modem and an internel Aztech 33.6 Modem taht came with the PC I am using wvdial to connect. If I run "ifconfig" everthing looks right. Any suggestions? Thank you in advance, -- Anthony Thomasel "Men look at women the way men look at cars. Everyone looks at Ferraris.

in wvdial what speed do you specify for the modem? On Mon, 21 Aug 2000, Spike1879@aol.com wrote: > First, let me apologize in advance for using AOL. Unfortunately I have to > rely on a friend's access until I can fix this problem. >

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.
