It does not seem to be the case with my user-ppp, but if you're downloading a lot of things, it could be some other thing, like user-ppp taking a lot of cpu? Anyway, Navigator takes forever to load on my machine even without ppp loaded. I don't use the time navigator needs to load as a performance measure, since I'm suspecting that it needs just a lot of memory to load fast... which my 32 Mb machine does not have anyway. Try this. When you're connected and the ppp link is up and running, run top(1) on a terminal and see who's eating up all that cpu. -- Giorgos Keramidas, "What we have to learn to do, we learn by doing."
