Hi,

I'm running 2.1 on a 486 PC, and I configured ppp  to connect to my host 
provider. The connection is made successfully but there are delays 
in displaying what I'm typing , as if there is a buffer that gets emptied 
every  5 or 6 seconds.
I'm using a 14.4 modem and I tried to change the mtu/mru to 296 without 
any amelioration.. When I use netdcape it seems to be faster, but it 
becomes unusable in terminal mode (in an xterm). 
What should I look for?

Thanks.


PS: I'm using crtscts and passive in myy options file.
