| |
Dudes and/or Dudettes:
Recently, i climbed out of my nice warm 1.2.13 into the mean streets of 1.3.70. (Gotta have those vanity hostnames). I grabbed the requisites: procps-0.99a ppp-2.20e ncurses-1.9.8a
My problem is: the ppp (dialin) is verry slow. I can type "ls -l" with one finger before any characters are echoed. The resulting output comes through in distinct chunks with 1-2 second lag gaps between said chunks. Netscape has this dramatic pause before "contacting espnet..com"
If i sit at the console, or telnet in through the etherport, all is well (so far).
Is there a magic "restore my zippy ppp" incantation?
