[newbie] kppp wierdness

[Papa]

Okay gang, I have some wierdness here with my kppp connection.   I can IRC and
FTP and most anything else but when I try to http (using Netscape 4.72) it craps
out about 95% of the time.

I have used the same settings for my ISP forever both on Windows and previous LM
installs.  I am currently using LM 6.1.   I also have a freewwweb account that
works about 90% of the time for web surfing.

The modem is a Zoom 28.8, I get a good connection (read no disconnects).  One
thing I have noticed when I cannot reach the web I also cannot Ping my ISPs
Primary DNS server, I can Ping the Secondary with times of 220 ms.  I attribute
the lag to the 28.8 connection speed.

Any ideas, thoughts or suggestions let me know.  Thanks.

Jerry
