Connection
Dell Inspiron 4100, slackware 10.2, dialup.
Downloads are intermittent, they show as coming in chunks on gkrellm, makes for slow browsing and downloading.
I had Mandriva 2006 on this machine for two days, discovered that if I turn off acpi, downloads are as good as on my PC.
Tried it with slackware, makes no difference. Also tried turning off apm, no difference there either.
On slackware I put append="acpi=off apm=off" in /etc/lilo.conf just above read-only.
This machine did the same thing with adsl, I have access every month or so.
Ideas, anyone?
