I am using userland ppp now, and its giving me good results, the downloads are much faster now. One poiint here, Dr. GRORG LEHEY :-) mentioned some questions about how I am measuring the connection speed. well you are in a better place to tell me how to measure the throughput, and connection speed, since I dont have a clue, I am thinking of things like pppstat or things alike, so you may help by suggesting other software. So, now I got the speed I wanted, is it possible that pppd and not kppp, that was causing this, since kppp is merely an interface to pppd, how to make sure which was the cause. again thanks to AALL who helped, any POSITIVE feedback is greatly welcome. ===== MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
