A little while ago I posted about my poor firewall that was running at half speed after a fairly major upgrade.
I was reasonably convinced it wasn't hardware, so today I decided I'd try un-upgrading bits and pieces to see what was wrong. I firstly un-upgraded pppd back to the version I had on there before (I think). No difference. Then I switched back to the 2.2.18 kernel I had on it before, and after a reboot, all my downloads were running at their normal speed again (around 5.6-kbps). Now, I would be surprised if there was actually a relevant bug in the 2.4.18 kernel, so I suspect it's a kernel option that I've set. Can anyone think of any kernel options which would have the speed of either 1. Serial ports 2. PPP connections. ?
