Hmmm. I'd turn on debuging (add 'debug' to your ppp options) and look at the packets found /var/log/ppp.log. Compare which CCPs (if any) are configured for each connection. In some cases, compression protocols may just slow you down, especially if your modem is already doing compression since there's a limit to how much data can be compressed. -- Jens B.
