50066	2002-05-21 23:59:00	Warning *Linux newbie* ;^) RedHat 7.3 Dynalink external modem connected to a serial port. I know very little about linux but desparately want to learn. The problem is, most resources are on the internet and coz I'm having problems I have to keep rebooting to Windoze to check stuff, then reboot to linux to try the fix! I ran kppp (KDE 3.0) which found my modem and allowed me to connect... but... receiving at only about 0.1 to 0.2 kbps!! Obviously kppp didn't do all the configuring I need ;^) Where to from here (all advice greatfully rec'd) Ta	Guest (0)

That is, say, 10-20 chars/sec. That would be *noticably* slow. It won't be a modem setting. I don't think any ISP is capable of 300 baud these days. I've just been trying to gte a lady connected, and after some struggle found that her 14.4k modem card was successfully negotiating 9600 with XTRA. XTRA does not accept 9600 so no connection.
