You suspect,?? i SEE that something is wrong, but what, you dont give any
other information other than KPP and netscape, (netscape has nothing) to do
with "speed".
For your information 700 bytes per second is equal to a 9k6 'half duplex'
link.
I dont think we can put the blame on the software as most of us here on
this list have next to problem(less) links.
What we could put the blame on is a 'misconfigured system', but that would
be guessing.
I am not an expert on PPP but i do know that what you say makes no real
sence at all without seeing more info.

Yes supply more info.
Output from ifconfig for ppp0
Any error messages regarding ppp0 in your logs.?? /var/log/messages
../syslog
Is your routing correct.??
Does the same hardware work properly with other operating systems.???
At this stage i would say, its like looking for a needle in a hay stack
with the info you supply.
