Everything works just fine except that : latency over, say, a telnet connection becomes unbelievably bad when : I am also doing an ftp transfer. I've tried messing with the MRU, to : no effect. Any other ideas? 0) Drop the socket buffer size being used by FTP so it will not queue as much data to the link ahead of your telnet traffic 1) Implement or use TOS/QOS kinds of things so your Telnet traffic can cut in front of your FTP traffic going out your PPP link. rick jones these opinions are mine, all mine; HP might not want them anyway...
