For the most part, it has done what I've wanted it to (including X) but I have a question about the abysmal PPP throughput I've seen under NetBSD, namely, that running MacOS 7.5.5 with OT 1.1.1, the exact same hardware typically gave me 2.5 - 3.5 kilobytes per second on typical ftps, and under NetBSD I see 1 to 1.5 kilobytes per second (or less). I have a Zoom V.34X modem (up to 33.6, although my ISPs all max out at 28.8) and have set my port speed to 57600. The V.34 and DC (data compression) lights both light up when I dial up my ISP under NetBSD (as well as under MacOS (of course)). Any suggestions? J.
