RE: Modem is *very* slow, RHL box dropping packets

[Andrew Barnes <barnes dunamis com>]

My modem experienced the same symptoms. I do not know what caused this 
problem to occur; but it has since gone away. The only significant thing I 
did to the system was recompile the kernel. Once I rebooted my machine 
communications ran great!

Let me know if you're able to pin down the exact problem. I'm sure I will 
face it again. Oh by the way, are you running Cyrix x86 PR200? I am. 
Perhaps there is a correlation? Hummm?

Regards,

Drew

Subject:	Modem is *very* slow, RHL box dropping packets

Hello everyone,
  I have RHL 4.2 installed on my box, but the modem is agonizingly SLOW. 
 When
a ping any remote host, the ping program reports a 4% packet loss.  Any
help/advice would be tremendously appreciated.

Cheers,
