Since I updated, a month ago, from SuSE 8.2 to SuSE 9.1 I had the feeling that the modem connection was slower than previously. Previously I saw comments on this list to that effect, but they seemed to be related to winmodems. It could be just an unjustified feeling, therefore I started to pay more attention, and finally I ran some test to confirm it.
Thus, I can now confirm it: there is something in SuSE 9.1 that makes Internet connection using a modem definitely slower than previous versions of SuSE. [...]
When using the fast, Pentium IV machine, with SuSE 9.1, average speed is between 1 - 2 Kbytes per second! (even less, in fact).
This is a disgrace :-//
Well, I'm happy to mention, for the record, that the issue is solved in SuSE 9.3. I wish the developers at SuSE back ports the solution to the other versions of the distro that suffered from this problem. It's being a long, long wait... - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFCfKGPtTMYHG2NR9URAndeAJ96YfIaPmifCd4Drk9tMA4yZTre/gCeNeSg eoL3KW1ZxSiKwB1lZOvymT8= =y66f -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
