<p><br>I am trying to figure out how to check my connection speeds in
Ubuntu. I have a USR modem and in widows it connects at 50 but I can
tell by my of my down loads that it has been taking an average of 5
times longer. I know in other versions of Linux it has worked fine. I
have tried looking through the Ubuntu guide but have not found anything.</p>

Hi Michael,<br>
<br>
I had the same problem while ago myself! Found this great info...
type this in a terminal (substitute your correct port number for
"<XX>":<br>
<br>
stty -F /dev/ttyS<XX> speed 115200<br>
</div><br>
Typing this once will tell you what it is now set at (probably 9600),
typing it a second time will set it to 115200. If that works, then if
you want that port (modem) set to 115200 at every boot, do this:<br>
<br>
sudo gedit /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh<br>
<br>
And add the previous line to the bottom of the file and save. In my case my modem is on ttyS14 so this is the line I added:<br>
<br></div>stty -F /dev/ttyS14 speed 115200<br><br clear="all">Of course
there is an easier way, if you install Gnome PPP and set your modem
speed to 115200 in there. Either way should work.<br><br>
Hope that helps!<br>
<br>
