Thanks for the pointers... I have been getting much better
throughput, but still the errors.
I'm using hardware handshaking, have the baudrate at 57600
(28.8 modem). I've now used irqtune and hwparm to make
sure nothing *should* be causing poor performance on the
serial. I guess I wasn't expecting that I was getting
"normal" serial errors, since I expected them to show
up as overruns, not errors. I am currently stuck with
a MTU/MRU at 560 because of my ISP... so I can't experiment
with changing that (although I will ask about changing
it).
I've upgraded my kernel to 2.0.33 as well.
>From all I've read recently, it looks like a MTU/MRU problem
when just some ftp/http sites are affected. Some have no
problem and I get great throughput for downloading files,
but others (microsoft for example gives me fits) completely
fail at downloading files because of packet errors. BTW
I have no problem downloading the same stuff if I connect
to my ISP using my win95 machine directly.
Any ideas would be welcome...

ps - Is there a better list for this discussion? a kernel
list somewhere?
