Thanks guys but tweaking the MTU didn't work. I tried default in addition to 128, 296, 1280, 256, 178, 138. Any idea where I can find/edit the modem command strings?

The "Kppp Statistics" are as follow  at time of failure:
bytes in 1250149         bytes out  161509
packets in 1083            packets out  1118
vjcomp in 0                  vjcomp out 0
vjunc in  1020               vjunc out  0
vjerr 0                            nonvj  1118

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
