I assume you're using PPP (you didn't write it), so which version do you use on FreeBSD? Did you enable hardware flow control (on both sides, FreeBSD and the modem)? This rather smells like flow-control problems. I get between 1.5 KB/s and 2 KB/s over a 16800 bps ZyXEL <-> ZyXEL link (not the most modern one on my side). Either SLIP or PPP, doesn't matter. In the PPP case, it's FreeBSD-2.2-current iijppp on my side, and FreeBSD-2.0.5 kernel ppp on the remote end. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
