- I have posted about the slow system problem I have before.
- I suspect it is not a universal problem.
- Some systems to which I point my www browsers send data to this
- A3000 very very slowly.
- I am writing this message simultaneously with an attempted
- connection to the home page of the author of ppp1_30.
- http://www.american.com/<tilde>kruse/home.html
-
- After about ten minutes, ALYNX reports 476 of 2593 bytes of data
- transferred. It is 8:20AM local time.
- I do not believe that the remote system is busy with downloads.
-
- This is the sixth time I have attempted this connection,
- and the sixth time the transfer rate has been well under
- one byte per second.
-
- I have seen messages from others who use Amigas who do not seem
- to have this problem. I know that if I connect to one of these
- slow systems with my 386/Netscape system, the data transfer is
- at an adequate speed.
-
- Therefore, I assume I have something wrong with this particular
- installation. Not all systems ae slow ... perhaps one in ten or
- twelve.
-
- I have both this A3000 and an A500 on which the slow transfer
- rates are troublesome. Both demonstrated the problem using
- AmiTCP 4.0 demo, PPP 1.3 (unreg) and any communication clients
- I try.
- The change to PPP 1.30 (registered) made no difference with these
- slow systems.
-
- The problem is obviously NOT related to the load on the systems
- which are slow. It is something in the way in which these Amiga
- systems communicate/handshake with the remote (slow) systems.
-
- Does anyone else experience trouble with some slow remote
- systems, as I describe above? Does anyone have a solution to
- the problem? Or even any ideas to try?
-
- I am near the end of this message ... it is almost thirty
- minutes since I first used ALYNX to connect to Mr. Kruse's
- home page. ALYNX now reports 820 of 2593 bytes of data
- transferred. It is about 8:30 AM on a Sunday morning.
