what are you testing as a transfer test? If you using SMB/Samba and
tranfering files that way then that's a bad choice as SMB over FTP is slow.
Transfer a large file (say 10MB) and then do a :
pppstats -c 10000 -w 1 ppp0
This will show you your transfer speed in Bytes/s. Let us know if what the
speed is like..
thanks,

more information the linux server i'm running has only one network card.
when running ifconfig i have 3 adapters eth0 lo and ppp0(when connected).
all have mtu's of 1500 except for the ppp connection which is set to
whatever i set it to i've tried high mtu's and low mtu's to no avail. when
the connection is up i can ping to the ip address of the vpn server (ping
1.2.3.4 -f -l 1420, which is about as high as i can get it with out
fragmentation) and get a decent response but when it comes to actually
transferring data it's a dog, even with encryption disabled. i even follwed
another walk thru by tom eastep and changed my samba config file to closely
match and i still have problems. is their something i can do is their andy
more information you need to help me?
could the mtu's of the eth0 and ppp0 be conflicting? if i ping the router
from the server's location the max mtu is 1478, could my linux box be
sending units at 1500 buffering my ppp and forwarding them over my eth0
connection causeing fragmentation and thus causing poor performance?
please help
joe
