Me thinks it is far far better than the other isp's.

No problems at all with mozilla, FF, Konqueror or lynx (only used lynx for reading something on the modem). Debian sarge. Once u configure the modem and ask it to update the settings, u need to rerun your dhclient unless u have configured the modem to dispense a static ip to your box.With dynamic ip i experienced something similiar. Since i had planned to use static ip anyway, i did not check further, and i cant see the link between the problem and dhcp. Maybe it's the routes. I am clueless about IEeek tho. rgds jtd -- http://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
