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
