I had the same problem. My connection worked fine with a 2.0.36 kernel, but when I used 2.2.13 I would stall after 50K or so downloaded. I read a posting about certain ISPs using Ascend routers, which don't work well with the bsd_comp and ppp-deplate compression schemes used in potato. I added a different account with a different ISP and all my problems disappeared. Concentric was the ISP with the problem, my new account is with Earthlink.

My PPP connection seems to be stalling all the time. I'm often seeing (stalled) in Netscape, and trying to do some updates to Potato has become painful (multiple mirror sites); it'll download a bit, then stop, download a bit, then stall...you get the picture. I remember reading something about PPP and the 2.2.X kernels. Could that be what's going on? I've got my pon configured to use all the compressions I can. Thanks. -- David J.
