I noticed the same thing when I upgraded from the iijppp that came with 2.1.0-RELEASE to the -stable version (the -RELEASE version had a habit of hanging up during long transfers, the -stable one doesn't seem to). Ftp rates dropped from a solid 1.4K-1.5K/sec (14.4K modem) to about .57K/sec (from the machine directly on the other side of the link, i.e. remote -> phone -> local). My rates are back up to 1.5K/sec mostly (1.3K/sec if I'm doing interactive stuff over the link, which is actually usable while ftp'ing now), after making a slight tweak to the /etc/ppp/ppp.conf file. I added the following lines, I don't know which one is responsible: set debug none disable pred1 deny pred1 disable lqr deny lqr -- Zach Heilig (zach@blizzard.gaffaneys.com) Support bacteria -- it's the only culture some people have!
