Maybe we are talking about different stalls. The stalls I used to get caused ftp to stop receiving data for several minutes at a time. This seems to be gone.
I have always had poor interactive performance over PPP, making editing nearly impossible with the 1-2 second character delays, etc.
I got used to downloading work, doing the edit locally, then uploading the result. Interactive performance will probably always be poor because a single typed character results in a packet with a minimum packet-length that must be sent, ACked, then the echo results in the same overhead in reverse.
