While not really having an answer to the hows or whys of the apparent lack of speed, I find myself needing to ask this question: Why not just purchase a DSL router, which will store your authentication information, and let it handle all of the negotiation with the upstream host? As I'm running multiple hosts on my connection, I have all of my traffic passing from my network, through an IPCop firewall, to an ActionTec GT724R (used to use a Netopia Cayman router), and I'm getting as much bandwidth as I should. And, this way, I'm not stuck having to deal with "Sorry, we don't support Linux" from the provider, because I'm not using my Linux system to actually control the connection, itself. -- Mike Burger http://www.bubbanfriends.org Visit the Dog Pound II BBS telnet://dogpound2.citadel.org or http://dogpound2.citadel.org To be notified of updates to the web site, visit: https://www.bubbanfriends.org/mailman/listinfo/site-update or send a blank email message to: site-update-subscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
