Thanks for the tip, unfortunatelly EB42 is very limited when it comes to
RAM, there's 256k of it there, and as I heard this is minimal amount needed
for lwip+ppp.
Also I don't think speed is the problem here ( but maybe I don't
understand something ), because smaller binaries upload just fine ( as I
experimentally found 156k binaries ( where 156k is .srec size ) upload fine,
while 160k cause countless problems ).
One another thing - I don't understand why Angel works fine, while AFAIK
it's running from flash.
