Re: 486 router is very slow
I find it very unlikely that the 486 CPU should be a limiting factor.
If your ISDN modem is connected to an old (not UART 16650) serial
port, that may be a problem.
I had a similar problem when I ran ISDN. It finally turned out that I had
ATDT <phone number of ISP>
in the call up script. Where it should have been.
ATDI <phone number of ISP>
This change gave a performance boost from 1.5-2 kb/s to 5-7 kb/s
Fiddling with MTU sizes and all that other stuff in ppp never made any
difference.
good luck.
