More about my pathetic experience:
With 2.1.96 pretty much every other connection attempt makes Netscape
hang (that is, not to bother repainting a window) for 5-7 minutes and
then display an error message about connection error. It hangs during
the 'Connecting to ...' stage.
Also, I noticed that network performance deteriorated with a passion
of time. Later still - remote CVS calls started hanging.
Checking the logs afterwards revealed a bunch of messages of the
following kind:
Apr 17 15:22:17 localhost pppd[537]: Remote message: Welcome to REMOTE_HOST
Apr 17 15:22:17 localhost modprobe: can't locate module ppp-compress-21
Apr 17 15:22:17 localhost modprobe: can't locate module ppp-compress-24
<The first message is OK> Also, I am sure I saw some weird messages
like 'socket destroy error...' - can't find it now...
