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...

When I have my 9.1 disk in I average about 4.5Kbytes per second but this is using a US Robotics exterior modem. It's the same in 9.2 Is it possibly just a certain modem that has this problem? -- Take care. Kevan Farmer 34 Hill Street Cheslyn Hay Staffordshire WS6 7HR
