If anyone is interested, August last year I started a thread called "(Sid) Net broken - Sending streams stall" about how sending files over my modem seemed to stall after only a few 10s of kB were sent. Well, after giving up for a while and using gpppon instead of KPPP as I would prefer, I came back and had a look at how KPPP was calling pppd. It turns out that even though "Hardware [CRTSCTS]" flow control was set in the KPPP config it would call pppd with a "xonxoff" argument. This is due to a bad test in connect.cpp near line 1273. It ought to read something like: QString flowCtrl = gpppdata.flowcontrol(); if(flowCtrl != "None" && flowCtrl != i18n("None")) { if(flowCtrl == "CRTSCTS" || flowCtrl == i18n("Hardware [CRTSCTS]")) command += " crtscts"; else command += " xonxoff"; } Of course, my poor modem being swamped with outgoing data faster than it could send it due to non-existent flow control was the reason I was getting these symptoms. Recompiling kdenetwork source with the above change seems to have fixed the problem. Just FYI, Brendon Higgins
