Hi, I have a HP 715 running 9.05 and a PPI PM228MT II V.34 modem. I am using a ppp client to dial the modem and establish my ppp connection with my local Internet provider. I am able to download my mail with a pop mail client and to surf the net using Netscape. I can also telnet into my computer at work where I upload and download files. My problem is: When I upload files I get transfer speeds as would be expected for a 28800 modem connected to another 28800 modem. But when I download files, my transfer rate is between 5-175 bytes, yes I mean bytes, per second. This slow rate is antagonizing. I can't even download images with Netscape because they can take up to 15 minutes. I used SAM to configure my serial port for dialing out only and have tried varies initialization strings for the modem with no improvement. I hooked the modem up to a PC and it downloaded at a high transfer rate, so I know that the modem is OK. I don't know what to try next, if anyone can help, please e-mail me at stratton@btg.com. Any suggestions would be appreciated. +-------------------------------+-------------------------------+ | Karen D.
