Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
I have tried to use /etc/ppp/options with the only line "lock".
This will use all the default settings, which is used by redhat 5.0.
At a moment, I am trying to install some network packages to speed
up the connection. I have tried to install squid, mtr, apache and so on. I
don't know if they can help, but redhat has got all of these installed. I
haven't tested my speed yet after installing all of these packages.
If they don't, I will then go through each line in
/etc/ppp/options. I will let you know when I discovered something.
One other thing that I found is that It seemed that lynx's
transfer rate is much faster than netscape. That's why I had a go on
installing the package squid.
Also, Redhat has got a RPM called caching-nameserver. Do we have
one in debian??
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Shao.
