As described in the README.linux file, to help it's necessary to have the
version numbers of
- your kernel
- your ppp driver (as shown on bootup)
- your pppd daemon
before we have a hope of figuring anything out.
(Hint: if you're using pppd from ppp-2.1.2c with a late-model 1.2.x
kernel, you need to upgrade to ppp-2.1.2d to fix a bug that does indeed
destroy TCP performance. You can tell if you have this particular
problem if adding the -vj flag improves performance.)
