I don't know about your second question but regarding the first: It sounds like this is the same setup (exactly) that you were using under Win and getting 4-5K?
If so, are you plugging into the same phone jack as before? Are you using a longer RJ-11 cable? Have you tried setting your port speed at BOTH 115K and 57.6K? Is the init string you're using now the same as in Win? Are you dialing into the same POP now as you were under Windows? Is the IRQ for the Comm port for the modem being shared under Linux? It's also possible that the problem is not you but on the ISP side, maybe the changed equipment etc. Most often, however, the problem is a less than optimal init string. Good Luck.
