I now have a working external Sportster. Well.......kind of working.
When I start to update packages the kppp statistics graph shows a normal
flow of packages (2.9kps). But after 10-15 minutes the package
transmission gets intermittent, with periods of no transmission getting
longer each time until transmissions stop completely. At times there
will be a single spike of 1kps.
I've tried various mirror sites but the problem remains. The modem
doesn't disconnect, it just sits there.with a incomplete package.
Any suggestions besides telling me to go back to Windows?

It sounds like you may need to tweek the mtu and mru settings. I am not
sure exactly where to do this in Kppp, but I am sure it can be done. You
might try a settign of 576 and see if that helps...

do you know what modem init strings are?
you will need t find what init string your modem uses, and get that
string into KPPP or whatever you dial with. it is a string of commands
sent to the modem before the dial string to configure it. you ma find
this info in the booklet that came with your modem, or you may be able
to search the USR website with the model of your modem to get that info
