Hmmm. I'd turn on debuging (add 'debug' to your ppp options) and look
at the packets found /var/log/ppp.log. Compare which CCPs (if any)
are configured for each connection. In some cases, compression
protocols may just slow you down, especially if your modem is already
doing compression since there's a limit to how much data can be
compressed.
