Oh, its an internal modem, so no lights to watch flicker. The ISP is Internet Canada, using its POP in Halifax, NS, which uses a Netblazer for its dialup pool (figured I'd throw out *as much* info as I could think of). Here's what I have now: ==========[ ppp.conf ]========== default: set device /dev/ttyd2 set speed 57600 set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \"\" AT&FM0X3&W OK-AT-OK \\dA TDT\\T TIMEOUT 40 CONNECT" disable lqr deny lqr disable pred1 deny pred1 set redial 3 10 ican-chap: set authname XXXXXXXX set authkey XXXXXXXX set phone 4257110 set openmode active accept chap set ifaddr 127.1.1.1/0 127.2.2.2/0 255.255.255.0 add 0 0 127.2.2.2 set timeout 300 ============ ==========[ ppp.linkup ]====== ican-chap: delete all add 0 0 hisaddr ============================ ======[ netstat -nr ]====== # netstat -nr Routing tables Internet: Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire default 206.231.247.114 UGSc 7 54 tun0 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 2 154331 lo0 127.2.2.2 127.1.1.1 UH 0 0 tun0 206.231.247.114 206.231.248.147 UH 8 0 tun0 ===================== > What sort of sustained throughput do you get with ftp ?

I just used Netscape to grab the jdk 1.0.2 binaries, with no other traffic on the line, and I was lucky to get 1k/sec :( I also tried using ncftp to send up a file to my server, and it got one file sent and then closed the connection to to "time out"...
