| |
Hi, I have a 28800 external modem, all was fine when I was using 2.0.x kernels. When I switched to 2.1.x series (mainly for ext2 compression) the net performace dropped :( With 2.0.x kernels and M$ Windows the max transfer speed is about 3.2 KB (kBYTES) but on 2.1.x kernels it is only 2.6 KB. [1] It's almost 20% _slower_ :( Why? Is it a bug? A "feature"?
I'm using the latest tools, as described in Documentation/Changes, I played with ppp compression and mtu/mru but no luck, it only went worse, setserial options also didn't help :(
Maybe I overlooked something? Is there any chance for improvement?
