Well, I've finally got PPP running and am getting somewhere with NAT etc.

But PPP seems so slow. I'm getting transfer rates of under 1kB/s through my NetBSD boxes (IIcx 8MB or 20MB RAM) vs over 4kB/s on my Mac OS 7.5.5 box (IIsi running IPNetRouter). It's equally slow on plain PPP as it is on NAT routing.

I'm using a 56k modem, same ISP etc.

I've tried including a serial speed of 57600 in the pppd parameters, but no change.

Any ideas? Do you get faster throughput on a similar Mac running NetBSD?

Thanks,
Tom
