Haven't tried that, but I am using irqtune now and the problem with disk
access stalling the serial device is gone. Thanks Bruce.
However, the above problem still remains. If I just initialize the modem with
'AT&F1', it connects at 40000 something bps. But I only get transfer rates
around 1 kB/s! Uploads are as fast as ever. OTOH after 'AT&F1&N21', it
connects at only 33600 bps, but I get 3.5 kB/s constantly.
Anyone has a suggestion about this one? Have I misconfigured my modem?
Doesn't my ISP support V90? ...
