-
- Forget the serial prefs. Set the baud rate in PPP0.config to 38400,
- or 57600.
-
- This is the rate your modem talks to your computer, and has to be
- higher than your modem baud rate.
-
- Since you probally know the login sequence for your ISP by now,
- you can use the dialscript that comes with PPP. If you decide to
- use your terminal program make sure the baud rate matches what you
- have PPP set for. This is important.
-
- Try it, I'm sure it will help. (I have mine set at 57600, and it
- works great.
