I forgot to mention, are you connecting at V.90 speeds? If so renegotiations/retrains will take place and you will see a speed jump or hesitation. Disable this in the modem. There are specific S registers to do this. Also what type of term/com server gear are you connecting to? I would also recommend upgrading your modem BIOS. > > > > However, the above numbers don't really illustrate the long response > > times that I experience while typing at the shell prompt, or in elm. > > It's really frustrating.

But it might be useful to see if it is involved in your problem. Also, get your ISP involved. Most admins have access to debug or PPP trace tools to help you.
