As someone who has nothing of my own to offer, I do recall reading of a similar (if not identical) problem a few months ago. Seems the cause of the slowdown was that the NIC needed to work half duplex rather than full duplex. Reconfiguring to half duplex brought the speed back up to expected rate

What are you using for a connection to your ISDN? Internal card, external TA with hi speed serial, etc? I'm wondering if the serial interface is setup wrong. Raffaele Sandrini wrote: > Normally i have have rates of 7.8 kb/s (ISDN) throughput. But if i try it > over my new router the rate is no

I had a similar problem that manifested itself in virtually stopping all network traffic if there is any activity on the dialup-masq server (Pentium 100, 24Mb and plenty other services running) The reason was that any HD activity stopped interrupts and serial port stopped. The solution was to unma

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 in the call up script. Where it should have been.
