I find it very unlikely that the 486 CPU should be a limiting factor. If your ISDN modem is connected to an old (not UART 16650) serial port, that may be a problem. I had a similar problem when I ran ISDN. It finally turned out that I had
ATDT <phone number of ISP> in the call up script. Where it should have been. ATDI <phone number of ISP> This change gave a performance boost from 1.5-2 kb/s to 5-7 kb/s Fiddling with MTU sizes and all that other stuff in ppp never made any difference. good luck. oivvio On Monday 04 June 2001 17:01, Raffaele Sandrini wrote: > Hi all > > I set up a router with my old 486 computer.
