Hello Paul, do you know why no xon/xoff support is in Linux ppp kernel driver? http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0307.3/0739.html http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/linux/linux-kernel/2003-23/0103.html It was big supprise for me yesterday when I found that Windows ppp client has significantly better performance when I connect over GSM. I use Siemens mobile and it has no wires for RTS/CTS handshaking and software data flow control have to be used. Later I found with serial line analyser that Linux ignores xoff characters send by mobile even pppd is configured to xonxoff mode. I beleive this is a serious issue. Do you know why this feature is ignored in Linux ppp driver for ages? I checked sources and cannot find xon/xoff support in 2.4.27 and 2.6.9 kernels. Do you know why? Many mobile GSM phones have to use software data flow control (only rx, tx and gnd wires, no rts and cts). I found some patches on the internet but I cannot find those submited in the kernel...
