| |
Hello Vladimir, This patch finnally allowed me to connect to my provider using 2.3.13+ . It also -seems- to allow for a more even thru-put under 2.0.37+ . The pppstats reported thru-put shows a bit more evenness in the reported numerics . on a I-modem single channel connection under 2.1.33+(the patch) the numerics range from 37500 - 40000 normally , But still will drop off to almost nothing occasionally (or even stop:-() , but under 2.0.37+ without the patch the numerics were all over the place the highest they ever got were 41500+/- . Also all numerics are download only . When there is a glitch in the numerics there is not an increase in out-bound traffic , So I beleive that outbound traffic shouldn't be an issue at this time . Tnx again, JimL
