[newbie] how to find out the speed the modem connects to the ISP at?
Hi there, I'm using KPPP to connect to the internet [because it was hanging off the start menu, labeled connect to the internet and it worked first time... :) ]. But it reports that I'm connected at 115200, which I expect is the speed my UART is talking to the modem at... Is there a way I can find out what speed the modem has connected to the ISP at? Often, it seems to connect slowly because of line noise due to rain etc, in windoze I could see it if I hovered the mouse over the little icon in the system tray. I expect there's some way in Mandrake, but I don't know what word to search for TIA again :) -- Merlin Zener Piano, Synthesizer Thailand. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Merlin: Adding ATW2 as the secondary initialization string in the kppp modem setup works here. Once you're connected, you can verify connection speed by clicking on the kppp bar (it's probably called something else -- mine is labeled Earthlink). Clicking on Details will show a graph of recent activity, but it's a big. For a display that doesn't take up much screen space, gkrellm is cool. -- cmg Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
