I'm running user mode PPP.  Everything works just fine except that
latency over, say, a telnet connection becomes unbelievably bad when
I am also doing an ftp transfer.  I've tried messing with the MRU, to
no effect.  Any other ideas?

Might kernel ppp handle this a bit better?  I am considering switching
anyway as I move to a dedicated link with fixed IP.  Good idea?

thanks,
Craig
