I am planning to upgrade my 2.1.5 system to 2.1.6. what is the best procedure for this? should I download all the bin files or do I just need some of them? Then what should I do? 2.using the user mode ppp program I have set my modem up to use a fixed serial port rate, is this rate the speed I specift by saying "speed 38400" in my ppp.conf file?I have also enabled recived data flow control, with ppp should I set the flow control to hardware or software. I also don't know If I should enable data compression, I don't know if my ISP supports this, does it matter? Thanks!
