[SuSE Linux] Setting Dial-Up Connection-Speed Bump

Setting the connection speed to 56000 in kppp may not be enough to let all
the parties involved to connect at 56k.

I suspect I must enter 56k in other configuration files. Is this true? If
so which are they?

I also suspect I have a glitch in my connection set up, in that I often
have to call five times to acieve a connect...only to have pppd die. Yet
eventually I get a good connection....which always seems to be 2800!

Somewhere I got wind of some notion that Linux is "trying" to make the
connection too many times in too little time, and so it fails. The
correction would be to ask Linux to try less frenetically, and thus achieve
a grip!

I must say, that using the same line my Mac and Virtual PC Windows systems
are able to make internet dial-up connect the the first time, every time,
and at speeds between 46666 and 48000 bps consistantly.

Thank you

I am running S.u.S.E. Linux 5.3 on a Gateway 2500 "SOLO" laptop with a
pcmcia modem, (NOT a Winmodem).
