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

[Andrew Barnes <barnes dunamis com>]

George,

My modem has the same symptoms. I went to UsRobotics FTP (/pub/linux) site 
to download a patch. This may or may not help. I will let you know. Also, 
be sure to check your baud rate in Network Configuration (icon), 
Interfaces, select ppp0 and view options. Make sure the baud rate matches. 
I overlooked that several times which contributed to some performance 
problems.

Regards,

Drew

Does your serial port have a 16550 UART?
second, increase the irq of your serial port with a utility called
irqtune.
