I can make a connection using ppp to the following modem and to
some extent it works. However the performance fluctuates with
netscape navigator reporting transfers of 1.2 - 1.4 bytes/sec
and then it will stall on jpg or gif files. Sometimes the
stall lasts for quite a while.
The report below indicates substantial framing errors
but I could be wrong given the throughput on the port.
I hve tried setting the asyncmap to ffffffffff at the client
side and I did get better ftp performance with vj compression
off and the default async map.
The Portmaster is an IRX 211.
I am using Linux at the client side so I can get a dump of
the packets but I don't know what to look for as to what the
problem might be.
Any tips/hints or even directions on what to look for most
greatfully accepted.
