Does anyone know why I should be getting frequent retransmit timeouts
with PPP over a 14.4kbps connection?  They happen when trying to send
anything bigger than a line or two of text at one time.  This includes
spooled SMTP and NNTP messages, and, infuriatingly, HTTP requests from
both Lynx and Mosaic.  I'm posting this message by telnetting to the
NNTP server, which is the only way I can get anything out fast, or 
indeed reliably.  

The catch is, this happens only when using the AmigaDOS version of PPP
by Holger Kruse.  Under NetBSD, I have no trouble whatsoever.  (The
problem, in case you're wondering, is that I'd much rather do my 
networking under AmigaDOS because I really don't have the physical
memory to run X efficiently, which is the only way to run Mosaic
on Unix.  (The AmigaDOS port of Mosaic was also ported to the Amiga's
proprietary windowing system, which is much more compact.))
