| 216613 | 2004-02-19 05:08:00 | I've seen this problem disscussed all over the internet but have not yet found a solution. I can connect to the internet fine. The modem is an old ISA Rockwell 56Kb, and I'm connecting with kppp. I start getting into trouble about 2 minutes after connection. The modem goes slower...slower...and finally "stalls". I know there are a lot of other people with this problem so maybe someone can share some past knowlegde. System: 566MHz Celeron CPU, 256MB SD-RAM O/S: Mandrake Linux 9.0 Any help would obviously be appreciated. |

| 216614 | 2004-02-19 05:32:00 | Have you manually set your ISP DNS address? I run kppp connecting to xtra on RH8 and it's fine. No slowdown at all. This is using a 33.6k ISA modem. Also set the login script tab like so- Expect ogin: Send your username Expect ssword Send your password Set authentication to Script-based. HTH |

| 216615 | 2004-02-19 05:58:00 | I just did a bit of looking up for that Modem. I used to have one.. About two years ago. They suck. They're by no means the best of quality. I noted down a few reviews back when ours was dialling intermittently and they all agreed they were low-quality. Go pick up a Modem from the likes of Qmb. They're doing a modem and it has Linux drivers on the Disc if you dont already have them in your kernel :-) Spend an extra $20 and get a good modem IMHO. It doesnt look like theres any other solution. Chill. |

| 216616 | 2004-02-19 05:59:00 | Just double checked my script add to the end- Send ppp For some reason just this seemed to work. You could try wvdail as well. |

| 216617 | 2004-02-19 06:11:00 | What are the exact specs of the modem, ie model no. Chill seems to be on an everything is **** rampage at the mo ;). Did the modem work under that infamous OS from Redmond ok? | mark.p (383) | ||
| 216618 | 2004-02-19 09:45:00 | Ha! I think Chill might be right about this one, but here is what is on the chip: RCVDL56ACF/SVD R6761-27 ©ROCKWELL 97 9820 B63008-3 MEXICO I am convinced that it is not the modem as I have tried another (33.6kB) and the same, annoyences occur. I think I have to change some settings,which ones I'm not sure... |

| 216620 | 2004-02-19 09:56:00 | Looks like he beat me to the chase ;-) If you've tried others I could be all wrong... Perhaps the model number is slightly out? ....I have been wrong before (Yes Mark, it is possible for me to be wrong ;-)) Chill. |

| 216621 | 2004-02-19 10:22:00 | I appear to have double posted, sorry to all of those who mind. I had totallly forgotten about that one. Any way to delete threads? | Caesius (3758) | ||
| 216622 | 2004-02-19 13:15:00 | That would be a negative. I wouldnt worry too much, just keep it in mind for next time. So does the jury say Im wrong yet? ;-) Chill. |
