I have a friend less than 1/2 km closer to the phone co than I, both on dead ends. She connects at 31K using a USR Courier. I connect at 26-28K, usually 26 with the same Courier modem. Usually 33K modems get a minimum 26K connection here. The 56K modems I've tried here more often connect at 24K or less rather than 26. -- "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. . . ."

Huh? That sounds like kppp is giving you the speed in kiloBYTES. I wouldn't worry about it, unless your connections are obviously slow. Six kilobytes/sec is actually a pretty good transfer speed for a 56k modem. -Stephen-

Hi.. I have a Hayes Accura 56k external modem, when I connect to the www or pick up email, I chaec on the details in the kppp dialler and the connection speed never goes above 6kb, in fact it seldom reaches this .Is there any way to tweak the startup scripts or have I just got a slow ISP.I realise the modem speed is quoted in kbits and assume so is the kppp dialler ??
