#...it tops out at ~500 bytes/sec. on FTP and is usually less. I have a

#my question is, how do I find out what speed is being used over the COM
#port to the modem? I have it set to 115200 on the command line to pppd
#but does that always override whatever has been set as a default speed for

#slowing it down? It flies when I run Winsock under Windows (2 or 3k/sec)
#so it's not just the net or my provider.
Just check which section is slow ?
use tracroute to see where it slows down, or just check the
speed between a host which hangs just behind the gateway you are
dialing.. (using ftop or tcpspray or something like that..
If you star pppd with pppd speed 115200 it sure will set it i you
kernel new enough (1.2.13 works fine)
