tlug: Slow Internet connection

[Dennis McMurchy <denismcm@example.com>]

  A friend in Wales who's been playing around with RedHat 6.0, has the
following complaint (Demon is his ISP):

>   I'm afraid the Linux - Demon connection is slow for webbrowsing. It's
> certainly not the fault of my computer, or of Demon, with which I almost
> always get reasonable speeds under Windows. It must be because of the
> way I set up my ppp0 connection (& then run Netscape), or something I
> put (or didn't put) in the kernel. 

  This doesn't make any sense to me.  Can anyone offer some suggestions?
