David,
	I actually find SEnet quicker if you don't specify the proxies.
It still uses them as SEnet now has transperant proxies.

Also make sure you have the following in /etc/ppp/options:

lock
deflate 15,15

And the following in /etc/conf.modules:

alias ppp-compress-21 bsd_comp    # Enable bsd compression
alias ppp-compress-24 ppp_deflate # protocol number from draft RFC
alias ppp-compress-26 ppp_deflate # real protocol number.

This makes sure that you also use software compression.

Other things to check. In /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ppp0 
(you may not have the 0 on the filename). Chech you have these lines:

MRU="1500"                   # maximum receive block size
MTU="1500"                   # maximum transmit block size
LINESPEED="115200"           # default connect speed for 28.8 upwards
HARDFLOWCTL="yes"            # keep the modem reciving while pc works
DEFROUTE="yes"               # send all packets to this gateway 

If not add them.

Cheers,
