Sorry, nothing may be wrong for you, but that is not the case for me.
I have been using ppp 2.2.0 with many of the 1.3.x kernels (skipped a few here and there). I have not had trouble until 1.3.7x (I did not have any trouble with 1.3.59 before that). I did not change _anything_ in my setup except the kernel, and my PPP connections slowed down about 50% (rough guess). Now it is much faster for me to use MS-Win3.1 and Trumpet Winsock. This is all for interactive use. FTP connections under Linux are slower too (1.3k vs 1.6k), but not by as much.
I know that nothing has changed on the ISP side, since I am a system administrator there. -- Chris Adams (C.Adams@Yellow-Jackets.com) "So, if anybody wants to have hardware sent to them: don't call me, but instead write your own unix operating system.
