53 Kbytes/sec, that's unreal!!!
Did you comment the "speed" line out or just leave no value after speed?

the "speed" option is passed to pppd (AFAIK) and sets the maximum speed. I
don't even set it and my DSL to work is quite quick. I don't even think it
has limited the speed at all.

Here is a tranfer using FTP to my machine at home on a DSL 512k/128k link

mput Hexidecimal-map-pack-v1.zip? y
227 Entering Passive Mode (10,10,0,97,8,214).
150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for Hexidecimal-map-pack-v1.zip

send aborted
waiting for remote to finish abort
226 Transfer complete.
376832 bytes sent in 6.95 secs (53 Kbytes/sec)

Because the size is 28MB and I didn't want to download it again, I stopped
the transfer.

But notice my link went to MAX speed (512Kb/s)........

What effect does the speed setting have in the pptpd.conf?

What is the maximum setting you can enter here, and what is more
realistic?

Any ideas?

I'm currently set to 115200 for the speed setting but am quite curious
as to which is better.  Obviously, for dialup or something you want a
slower speed setting, but what about higher connections, such as
DSL/Cablemodem lines, etc.

Thanks.
