Help,

My through put w/ a ppp conection is consistently 300 - 600 bytes per
second. I'm running TurboLinux on a Dell 7K laptop w/ a USR 52K pcmcia
modem.

I do not have this problem using slackware 4.0/7.0. Any ideas on what I
have misconfigured?

My first thought was MRU/MTU both were set to 296. I've set them to
1500, but no spped increase is seen.

Thanks in Advance,

Mark

User setserial to verify and/or set your modem irq correctly and see what
happens. I had the same problem and I assumed it couldn't be the IRQ
because the modem was dialing out. Plug and Pray was screwing with my
settings though. Once I decided to follow someones advice and try changing
the IRQ my throughput jumped from .7k to 4.7k per second. If this helps,
you might have to set it LILO to set the IRQ everytime you boot up.
