I'm not using PPP at all and I've noticed the same +problems. I have noticed that performance when connected to a SunOS +4.1.3 host is much MUCH better than when connected to a Solaris host. It +may be that those who are reporting good speeds are connecting to a +"quick" host.
I noticed the same difference between Solaris and SunOs. However, the SunOs host is an old sun4 while the Solaris host is a dual processor sparcstation. Using the same connection with trumpet windosock gets comparable performance from both (so it's not the line or connection; and certainly ms-windows 3.1 is not exactly an operating system suitable for slip connections; I get overruns all the time even with a 16550, something I still haven't ever seen in linux where slip processing happens inside the kernel).
Yannis.
