I tried that before writing my previous message, but man pppd give no info
about what should be in /etc/ppp/options

I also tried this, but after going over some of the sources I realized the

there is no man page for pptp (or at least I coudn't find one)

I tried your suggestion and although there were tons of debug statements, I
didn't find any reference to a paramater 38400. There was an attempt to open a
(non-existant) file called /dev/38400 so the question is still how that number
got there.
BUT HERE'S THE REAL WIERD PART. I decided to try changing the pptp command line
and added my own paramater 8000000 and wrote:
pptp 10.0.0.138 8000000 name guest@OIzahav
The next time I used this line, I got fantastic download speeds (as much as 11
Mega per minute !!!). So I thought this was the solution. But when I tried
again WITHOUT typing 8000000 I also got fantastic speeds. So it seems my
problem is solved, but I don't know why. I hate when this happens - obviously,
if I have another problem later, I won't know what the solution is.
