(< .5kb/sec) Date: Wed, 11 Jun 1997 09:11:46 -0400 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Priority: 3 X-Mailer: Microsoft Internet Mail 4.70.1155 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I have reviewed several news group responses to a problem that I am having regarding EXTREMELY SLOW transfer rates (outbound only) from ftp and web page request outside my server. The outbound rates start at about 1.3kb/sec. and steadly decrease down to .3kb/sec. I have a 28.8 modem and am running Freebsd 2.1.7 release. Something appears to be slowing up my system that is not presenting itself when I run "top". No errors in "netstat -i". My packets are not being fragmented. PPP/MTU negotiation works perfectly fine at 1500. Even with my CPU at 95% idle there is something (some uknown and unidentified) process slowing down the outbound traffic. I have tried several of the suggested fixes with no success. This drives me absolutely crazy!!! Can anyone help????????? Stephen Conn - ils@conn.com
