    Ok. It's just warning. I can live with that. But my connection is still
    painfully slow - 700-800 bps. I get this rate on web pages, ftp sites,
    everywhere. People have told me that I probably have a bad line or that
    there happens to be internet congestion every time I use the machine, so I
    installed windows so I can dual boot. The exact same machine booted to
    windows gets 3-4 Kbps. Mind you that this difference in connection rate
    happens at anytime of the day or night on any site on the net. This would
    lead me to believe that the connection problem is in linux somewhere and not
    with network congestion. I've played with my MTU till blue in the face and
    700-800 bps is the best rate I can get. I'm using pppd with wvdial as the
    dialer, started with a SysV startup script at boot, setup as a persistent
    connection. Is there some setting I missing somewhere, like telling pppd or
    wvdial to actually use compression instead of just seeing if the modules
    exist? What about connection throttling (I haven't turned any on that I know
    of, but...)? I'm drawing at straws because I'm about at my wit's end. I
    mean, I've gotten DHCP, DNS, DynDNS, NTP, Samba as a PDC, sendmail, gotmail,
    fetchyahoo and fetchmail all running very smoothly (setup from the command
    line - I didn't install X), so I'm not a complete idiot. (I've also disabled
    everything I just listed while doing testing to get the above rates so I'm
    not just consuming all of my bandwidth with these services.)

    How about from the command line?

    Thanks again,
