Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG How would one configure ppp to report the speed at which my modem connects to my ISP's modem? I'm using FreeBSD 3.2-RELEASE and from 'show version': PPP Version 2.11 - $Date: 1999/05/02 08:59:38 $ Oh, I can do it manually, with "ppp" then "term" and then ATDT15554443333 and watching the screen, but is this the ONLY way to see the connected speed? I'm suspecting that many times I'm only connecting at 14.4 or 28.8 at best. When I connect at 14.4, I'd like to know so I can disconnect, and hope that a redial will negotiate a higher speed. (Very poor rural telephone line-- Very expensive USR 56K Courier External modem) :-) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
