I am currently running FreeBSD 2.0.5 and I have a connection to a
Xyplex terminal server. I'm running the pppd that came with my
installation of FreeBSD to setup an ip conneciton. The command line I'm
using is this:
/usr/sbin/pppd /dev/cuaa1 19200 my.ip.address.here: xonxoff defaultroute
It seems to connect properly, change the default route, etc. When I ping
through the terminal server to anohter machine on the network, the ping
times seem reasonable. When I generate HTTP traffic, it seems to flow
fairly consistantly. The problem is, when I TELNET through the ppp
connection, it seems to crawl! It takes several seconds for anything I
type to go through.. It seems to connect to the remote machine pretty
quickly, it just takes forever to get anyhting I type to be sent through.
Has anybody else seen this problem? Can somebody give me a pointer on what
to change/look for?
Email replies are preffered
Thanks a lot,
Jason
