I'm not sure. I'm think an empty ramdisk uses
minimal ram with a 2.2 kernel. But I'm not sure
that still applies when you fill the ramdisk and
then delete it. You might have to zero the ramdisk
to reclaim the space.

Not the ramdisk itself. The ram that is allocated to
the ramdisk (but is currently unoccupied).

Some ISPs have a minimum connect speed and refuse anything
slower. It is possible that your pcmcia modem does
compression, thereby tripling the effective speed.

Not with a 2400 modem. The bottleneck is the modem.
