I set up ISP PPP connection through netcfg.
I set the domain and the nameservers and checked
the resolv.conf and nsswitch.conf files to make
sure I look to dns for host names, and that the
proper dns server address is entered.  I connect
at 38400 according to the ISP, but netscape shows
fewer than 100 bytes/sec transfer, and frequently
stalls.  The same ISP works fine from Windows 95.
Is there a way to check if I'm getting
lots of NACKed packets?  Someone suggested that
I remove AppleTalk and IPCX and rebuild the kernel,
but I don't see how that would help.  Has anybody
had similar problems?  Can you suggest anything?

Thanks, Michael

p.s. I had to initialize the modem for NO ECHO
because I was getting a message about not 8-bit
clean, every bit 7 is zero with echo enabled.
Is this common?
