Knoppix 3.4 vs Windows XP GPRS browsing experience on Digicel

[ProdMaster]

Ok from Sunday night I have been noticing a speed difference browsing the internet using Digicel's Gprs on both Knoppix 3.4 and XP. On Knoppix its blazing fast I mean I am getting like 12k/s max and the lowest it goes is 4k/s using it even in the 3am in the morning I am getting the 4-12k/s downloads and I am not being kicked off the net like in Xp.

Windows Xp gprs browsing is crawling and crawling. About a month ago I was getting very fast speeds on Xp like the above pertaining to knoppix. I am not complaining or anything. But can anybody explain this to me is there something within knoppix why I am getting such a better response verses Xp? ??? ??? :-\

As you can see below is a screenshot of Knoppix 3.4 max I got this morning 8.0k/s and I wasnt being booted look at the connected time!! 17:57:16 hrs

Does this work with earlier versions of Knoppix? I have 3.1 and I'm having a hard time setting up the IrDA and modem to set up the GPRS connection...

Any idea if it does work in older versions?

I used knoppix 3.2 with my laptop which has winxp on it. Now when browsing with knoppix on dialup I get download speeds of up to 30k for like 1 hr straight. when I put in xp I get download speeds of like 3k. 10k being the highest. ???

Greatis, or anyone else who used this setup, please explain what phone / hardware you're using, whether it be IrDA, Bluetooth, IrDA over USB, serial cable, etc...

@ Simplicity, I've never used knoppix with gprs. just with dialup
