Basically I just purchased a new USR 28.8 modem and need to know the proper settings to connect to my PPP server. I have disabled XON/XOFF and enabled RTS/CTS, but when I connect to my server I am only able to connect via telnet/ping/ftp to the actual server with these settings...all other connections time out. I have learned in the past that my server does not use pred1 compression and this has also been disabled. If I disable flow control completely using at&h0 then things work fine (with a bit of lag) for about 5 minutes and then the PPP link simply hangs. After the hang I can still connect to my server, but not to any other hosts. I know this has nothing to do with DNS or routing, anyone wanna send me their USR settings??
