May be this is my, and only my problem ... but ...
I am using kernel 2.1.13 with all needed updates (think so...) and
netscape 3.0/GOLD
A few days ago something mysterious happens with ppp-connections
to to my internet provider:
While I am downloading software, the transfer rates starts at a
high point and slows down step by step until it reaches
0 bytes per second (or as netscape wants to say : "stalled").
At this point nothing work anymore. I have shut down the connection
and relogin. Then the play starts again...
But this don't happen EVERY time.
I have checked the scripts in /etc over and over.
I have checked my connection with netstat, ifconfig, route and pppstats.
Nothing seems to be wrong...
SO: Does anybody knows something about this effect? Or is it a known
problem of something inside my box (pppd-bug, kernel-feature??)
KEEP HACKING! and THANK YOU IN ADVANCE
