I do it over 14.4 kbs...
(sorry I couldn't resist).
Of course, it would be nice if transfer rates would maintain 14.4kbs,
but something seems to be wrong with my PPP (or ISPs) setup. The modem
is often idle with nothing being transferred - so the transfer rate
(according to apt-get drops to below 300 bytes/second).
Anyone got any suggestions how to fix this problem? I have tcpdumped my
side of the connection, and the problem seems to be my computer waiting
ages for remote data.
This problem is driving me up the wall - as I have 14.4kbps, I feel
that I should be able to get close to 14.4kbps...
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
