Try adding the following line to your config set log physical dns tcp/ip This should show all IP traffic, outbound DNS requests and what ppp is actually writing to the link. The only thing we can really do here is ensure that all the data is being written to the modem in the same way. Given that there's nothing wrong there, I'd suggest seeing how far traceroute gets.... perhaps something upstream is dropping data. > Hello, > I'm noticing a strange behavior in userland ppp - when I download something > from ftp (or other extensive network use), other programs cannot get any chunk > of bandwidth, it just takes all the bandwidth and doesn't leave other programs > any.
