<< quoting skinky: "I slow my connection right down to 19200 bps (it connects at the higher speeds but is much slower)" >> Could someone explain that to me? How can I tell what my optimum connection speed is? I get 37333 and 38666 90% of the time, 40K 10%, and from looking at my Zoom External I can see it's logged on using 42K and 56K respectively. When I view kppp statistics I see a max generally of about 9.0 Kb/sec, but when I watch it as I load pages, make downloads, etc., it's either holding steady at about 3/4 (ftp & page loading) or going nuts up and down (like with Limewire). Am I operating at my best connection speed? Should I slow it down? If so, why? If it matters, I know DSL is available in my area, which I know reflects on the quality of the lines somewhat. Thanks again, Isaac ps - sorry i didnt reply directly but i have mozilla taking my mail off the server, which is pop but available on the web, and i cant reply with mozilla because its smtp is whack. please check my mozilla post if you can help me with that. if this messes up people's threads please dont hate me. skinky wrote: >>-----Original Message----- >>From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >>Subject: [newbie] pppd script >> >>Hi, >> >>When I tryied to connect, this is what happens: >> >>-Aug 13 21:20:00 localhost pppd (4697): pppd 2.4.0 started by >>gonzalo, uid 501 >>Idem...................................: Using interface ppp0 >>Idem...................................: Connect ppp0 <--> /dev/ttyS2 >>Idem...................................: Terminating on signal 15 >>Idem...................................: Connection terminated >>Idem...................................: Receive serial link is not >>8-bit clean >>Idem...................................: Problem: all had bit 7 set to 0 >> >>Idem........21:20:36.............: Exit >> >>I'll appreciate any ideas >> >>G le D >> > > Hi there > > I use Internet Dialer: Menu > Networking > Remote Access > Internet Dialer > Click on "Setup" and check all your settings including your ISP settings. > Make sure you have selected the correct serial port or however your modem > is connected.
