[ale] ppp speed

[Pinwu Xu]

Hi all, 
   I got ppp link to ISP. However, the speed is not acceptablly slow. 
Even with telnet, I should wait about 10 seconds to see the echo of what 
I typed. I got slip work first, and it's fine(now I'm using it). 

   The chat script I used is usual ABORT BUSY ABORT 'NO DIAL TONE' '' ATZ 
OK ATDT3484350 CONNECT "" UA> login rname:myloginname ssword: \qxxxxxxxx 
> \qppp\s/compressed\default

   The pppd daemon is invoked as the following:
/usr/sbin/pppd connect '/usr/local/sbin/netdialer' /dev/modem 38400 
crtscts modem defaultroute noipdefault lock

   And the "netdialer" script is:
CHATSCRIPT='the above script'

touch $DIALLOCK
while ! /usr/sbin/chat -vf $CHATSCRIPT ; do
 	$LOG "not connected, redialing"
....

Anybody has the same experience? How to fix it? Is it possible that the 
modem being set a low 38400 rate? my modem is 14.4k. While using slip, I 
set speed at 115200.

Thanks in advance.

Pinwu
