Dear Ken,
Higher mru does not give faster connection, batter put it this way: "One
can use higher mru's with fast, reliable link & lower mru's for poor,
noisy channel." So, if your telephone link is reliable enough, use higher
mru for faster communication otherwaise, go for lower mru.
See how your ppp daemon (pppd) is called. It should be like:
pppd /dev/cua0 9600 connect "chat -v -f chatcommands" -detach \
defaultroute crtscts ipcp-accept-local ipcp-accept-remote\
debug mru 296
Note the "mru" thing. The given mru is for a poor connection. Change it to
suit yourself. You can change the mtu too.
For GUI's see go thru the entries carefully. There should be some option.
For more info, read pppd man page.
