You're missing a lot of throughput if you don't. If my phone lines never allow a connection faster than 28K, why does setting at 115K improve the situation?? My impression is that the modem tests the capability of the phone lines to transmit clean data at high speed and, if that doesn't work, the modem kicks the baud rate to progressively slower speeds until the link is clean. Is this correct? Uhhh here's why... I assume you have a fairly recent modem that supports some of the compression algorithms.and I don't have the buzzwords handy. I think v42.bis is one of them and I suppose the v.90 includes most of the algorithms. Here's a look at one of my connection logs: chat: Jul 07 17:40:38 CONNECT 44000/ARQ/V90/LAPM/V42BIS Notice the mention of V42bis (I may be getting my compression algorithms mixed up with error corr algs) There are two speeds to be concerned with in using a modem: 1) The speed between your serial port and the modem, 2) The speed between one modem and the other (over the phone line) You can't do much about (2) other than make it less than the modem might want.. that is, you can't tell the modem to connect at a faster speed than either it or the line quality can handle. So that leaves (1). WHICH SHOULD BE SET TO THE HIGHEST VALUE POSSIBLE (mainly 115200 which is the max for most serial ports and really the max feasible rate with todays modems) Reason: If your modem is doing data compression, it can achieve rates of 80K actual throughput because of the compression. I have seen 80k rates on a 28.8 line for text type data. (binary doesn't compress well) So even though your modem/line may be running at 28.8, you can achieve much more throughput due to data compression by setting your serial port rate much higher. And the big thing?It can't hurt regardless of compression or line quality. It's a no-brainer issue. -- ++ + Bruce S.

Re: kppp on valium
If you do a man pppd and search idle ( /idleCR does that where CR means the enter key), you will see the parameter idle n which stops your side of the ppp connection after n seconds of inactivity (saves you money if you forget to drop the line here in the UK...). The line idle 180 (3 minutes) could be inserted anywhere in your file /etc/ppp/options. There is of course an identical feature at the ISP's box. Since ISP's exist to make money (perhaps to save money in institutions such as a University), they could very well adjust this parameter when your matching pppd starts at the ISP, dependin on the day and time at which you connect, so as to serve more customers on the same number of phone lines. Essentially, what this means is that if your ISP has an automatic disconnect time that you can have another program simulate activity (ping) until the end of time and it won't matter...it's still going to disconnect you. I don't know of many ISP's that don't have some such system in place, perhaps yours doesn't. There is one ISP here in the UK that disconnects you after 4 minutes of inactivity (which I can't believe they do as one can spend more than 4 minutes reading articles on a site easily). Try setting your idle seconds to about 1800 and see if it makes a difference, I know that it did with mine.
