Hello, I've recently set up a link between two Mandrake 7.1 boxes using modems. I've got the boxes connecting properly, and passing traffic. However, I noticed that there is a bit of delay... a little more than a normal dialup. I did some tests and found:
Dialing up from a Windows 98 client to a Windows NT server, I get ping times of around 100ms. Dialing up from The Mandrake box to the other Mandrake box, I get ping times of around 170ms. The time actually varies between 160ms, 170ms, and 180ms. (Note all multiples of 10.) I've set the MRU and MTU to 576 on both ends. Note that I believe all the modems used in the above tests were identical (same brand of ISA internal modem, jumpered for COM1), and have the same config (hardware flow control, 115200 baud rate). It also seems like I get slower download speeds on the Mandrake link. Is there any special tweaks to put in the pppd options file? I did do the asyncmap 0. Bob
