I understand the problem, and have often wished that I could do
something like that myself. However, this would require cooperation
on both sides of the ppp connection - what slows down your machine is
the amount of _incoming_ data, and I don't think that there's anything
you can do about it - you have to take it as long as the remote ppp
machine is feeding it to you. The only thing that I can even imagine
working is having pppd readjust the MRU/MTU values on a connection,
but:
1) I don't know if it's possible to send requests like this to pppd
2) I can't predict how the other end would react - they might close
the connection or change the IP address, which would foul up any
open tcp connections (like your ftp download).
