Thanks for your answer. My hardware is a Duron 900Mhz with 3x128MB SD100 and a 6GB HDD. The NICs are 2x xl (3Com) and one time Ath0 (wlan). It seams to be realy a problem with the userland pppd wich limits the upload/download so dramaticly. The Duron 1800Mhz (wich is my only WIndows Box) has also a 3Com NIC (same model like the Router) (xl). The only difference it: The little Workstation uses Windows and the ppoe-Drivers from hansenet+DialIn Application. And nope it`s not related to UDP.. I ment I`ve ~100kb upload (even via sftp). With the Router I just got...~12? So the difference is realy not related to the Hardware (no the CPu is not used completly (100%)). I would like to use a more power-saving oriented Motherboard/CPU-Combination but I saw no VIA-based CPU-Board with 2 NICs + 1 PCI-Slot (for WLAN) wich wasn`t "uberexpensiv". :-( Maybe AMD Geode CPUs are an alternative but I didn`t found any reseller wich sells them nor any Board where they`re assembled on (fixed). A Soekris-Box could maybe help but to be truthly: i wont spend ~150EUR for a home-Router. So if somebody has a low-buget-solution I would be happy. :-)) But as far as I can say so: It`s currently no Hardware problem. :) But further test with the in-kernel pppoe will be done in the evening. Kind regards, Sebastian p.s. Userland pppDs in NetBSB and Linux should perform a lot better (I found some "benchmarks" via google but there where just "outdated" OSs (OpenBSD 3.2 was tested there)).
