I do it over 14.4 kbs... (sorry I couldn't resist). Of course, it would be nice if transfer rates would maintain 14.4kbs, but something seems to be wrong with my PPP (or ISPs) setup. The modem is often idle with nothing being transferred - so the transfer rate (according to apt-get drops to below 300 bytes/second). Anyone got any suggestions how to fix this problem? I have tcpdumped my side of the connection, and the problem seems to be my computer waiting ages for remote data. This problem is driving me up the wall - as I have 14.4kbps, I feel that I should be able to get close to 14.4kbps... Any suggestions? Thanks in advance. -- Brian May <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
