[hcflinux] vaio xg28: it works, but it's slow

[George H. Fisher]

Hi Mark,

I sent you a message a couple of weeks ago when the 127a:2005 modem on 
my sony vaio xg28 finally started working.  I just installed your 020526 
driver for rh7.3 (rpm) after upgrading to rh7.3, and that appears to be 
working as well.  After the euphoria of having the modem work, though, I 
have noticed that it is darned slow.  At the remote end, it will claim 
to connect at e.g. 33K or 38K but simple web pages load like molasses, 
and downloading simple email attachments is also much slower than the 
same modem under the windows98 driver that came with the vaio.

Is there any kind of diagnostic check I could do that would allow you to 
understand why the driver is so slow at the dataflow?  I'd be more than 
happy to help the cause...

George
