Re: low throughput on PPP link

1998-05-29 Thread Jens B. Jorgensen
Well, you need to pass the speed to pppd as 115200, not 57600. You see, the set_serial spd_vhi flag sets what speed will be used if 38400 is selected. However, pppd can set the speed to 115200 just fine if you specify it. You're specifying 57600 and that's what you're getting. Xiangyang Ha wrote:
