ppp-2.3.1 is slow than ppp-2.2.0f

1997-10-29 Thread David Puryear
Hi, Is it me or ppp-2.3.1 in the hamm is a lot slower than ppp-2.2.0f in bo? When I used 2.3.1, I couldn't get the connection to go faster than 850b/s, but with 2.2.0f, I can get 2.4+kb/s in netscape. This is from same site and same file in minutes of each other. Should this go into bug report? BT
