Hi folks, |

I recently upgraded gcc and to KDE 3.5. I have a dial-up connection and |
| 4 |
a serial modem. I did a emerge -e system twice and a emerge -e world |
| 5 |
during the gcc upgrade. I then upgraded KDE. Since I did this my modem |
| 6 |
connection has been really slow. It connects at the same speed but it |
| 7 |
has a lot of dead time. It sends a little data, then waits a while, |
| 8 |
sends a little, waits a while etc. I am even having trouble doing a |
| 9 |
sync because it takes so long the server kicks me off. It does it on |
| 10 |
most all sites. It does it in Mozilla, Konqueror when I emerge |
| 11 |
something, whatever. It also does it if I login to my old KDE 3.4 |
| 12 |
session as well. I don't think it is KDE. It also does it when I am |
| 13 |
downloading emails from my ISP. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
I also did a kernel upgrade as well because one of the packages, I think |
| 16 |
it was hal or dbus, needed a newer kernel. I copied my .config over and |
| 17 |
did a make oldconfig. As far as I can tell, all my old settings are the |
| 18 |
same. I checked it with the make menuconfig of course. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
I have also tried to connect with Kppp and the pon and poff commands. I |
| 21 |
never did get wvdial to work. It does the same with either connection |
| 22 |
though. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
I did a lot of etc-updates during the upgrade. I did make a back-up of |
| 25 |
/etc though. What files should I check though? What could cause this? |
| 26 |
I'm afraid that if I copy the old /etc back over some things may break. |
| 27 |
I know one of the programs made me delete the old files because of some |
| 28 |
major changes. Seems it was hal, dbus or ivman, can't recall which though. |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
I use iptables for my other rigs to connect to the net with. I stopped |
| 31 |
the service just to try it, not any difference. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
Any ideas? Let me know if you need me to post something. |

Thanks for the help. |
