I wonder why the max download transfer rate I get is around 30KB
whereas in Windoze I can get 50KB in Windoze).
I had the problem of only 2KB/s on Debian and 4 on Windows. I fiddled
around with it and discovered that when I ran "wvdial" it would do the
full 4 (you get 30-50 with dialup?! This was in the country though, a
ways from town...). You might try using wvdial, and also enabling all
the compression parameters in the ppp conf file. Somehow there is a
way to find out exactly what wvdial is using for parameters when it
gives control of the connection to pppd; that is what I had to use.
wvdial does the connecting, pppd takes care of the rest, when wvdial
is used. Sorry I can't give more specifics, the computer is someone
else's and my memory of the incident is incomplete.
PS: I got this value from hddtemp, do you think it's a safe temperature:
/dev/hda: IC25N020ATMR04-0: 40 C
40C is quite fine, my drives idle at nearly that (spinning but idle).
Sometimes they get up to almost 70C when they are really busy. Maybe
that's too hot? Comments...
