Hi!

What a speed was achieved under Slackware? Well, using NetBSD pppd will
not guaranteed that you will have hi-speed connectivity with NetBSD.org
site ;-) Please try to use the closest ftp/www servers to test your
connectivity. Your ISP should be good here.

Also, you may wish to run "pppstats -w 1" to see real-time ppp
statistics. A traceroute(8) and ping(8) utilities might be also helpful
to find narrowings.
