I backed out to 3.8b13 because of this. I wrote a note to support about
it. Basically you get about 1/2 speed because the link is frozen for
about 1/2 the time. I would like to run V.90 but I can't tell thousands
of customers that they have to run at 1/2 speed or even do something
special to work around a problem in 3.8b15. So I will wait.
I know that some people have said that if you turn off compression in the
client's modem this gets rid of the lag. I don't know if it is true but
it certainly could be a bug in there somewhere that would cause
retransmission at the link level so the link appears dead for a few
seconds.
This is really easy to test. FTP a 250k zipped file. You get 32 or
33kbit speed if it is working on a 31.2 link. On 3.8b15 you get 17 or
maybe 18kbit.
Just remember that it is a beta and you need to report any anomolies that
you find or they won't get fixed.
