<BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE>I recently installed Suse linux 5.2 ( my first linux
experience) and thanks
<BR>to
<BR>the help of many of the messages to this group I was able to get PPP
<BR>working. The problem is that it is my connection is too slow, when
I ping
<BR>my ISP I get pings of around 400ms! when I ping from the same computer
<BR>from NT ( I'm writing this from work)I get pings of around 120ms .
<BR>The odd thing is however if I first use minicom , disconnect then
<BR>connect (either by chat script or kppp) the connection is much improved
<BR>with pings at abut 170-190ms, still not as good as my NT but at least
<BR>something
<BR>to work with. I suppose I could do it that way forever, but I think
you
<BR>would agree
<BR>that that's not very elegant.

My modem is a USR X2 internal , not setup as plug & play (com2 irq3).
<BR>So far I've tried playing with initialization strings, that helps a
tiny bit
<BR>but not enough. Obviously minicom is initializing some thing that I
am
<BR>overlooking. I've spent a lot of time trying to figure this out but
as a
<BR>Linux newbie , I'm having a hard enough time with just the basics.
