With 28.8 modem >(yes, it does connect on 28800), I've never got above 1.2K/s ftp >:( Thanks! If you have an external modem, watch the TX/RX lights sometime after the line has dropped. I have noticed on my machine, with my modem (Practical Periph. 28.8) I see that for every TX, there is an RX. Sometimes if the line drops during the initial PPP connection, pppd will report that the line is looped back, which is exactly what it looks like from watching the modem lights. Dunno if this is a modem problem, a ppp, or a tty problem. I've never cared enough to even try and figure it out :-). -- Mike Pritchard mpp@dgii.com or mpp@FreeBSD.org "Go that way. Really fast.
