Predictor-1 is used by almost all PPP implementations, and *significantly* improves throughput at little to no cost. Gee, Dennis, I suppose you have something much better and works with everyone else's product, don't you. [ MorningStar's success ] > It just happens to be the only supported product on the market.

Again, why use facts when personal attacks work *so* much better. I'm obviously up against someone who understands this so well that he doesn't understand why his modem won't answer the phone line. Nor, could you figure out why you had to set the speed in the modem even though it was an 'internal modem' with it's own UARTS. MorningStar's product is one of the better products I've used. The documentation is much better than anything I've seen, it's easy to setup, and once it's setup you never have to touch it again. It's used to replace the PPP implementation in alot of OS's because it *is* better. You've have consistantly shown that you really don't know as much as you think you do, but you do like to complain alot. In spite of that, I've tried to help you in private, but it doesn't seem to matter. I find it hard to recommend folks buying hardware from someone who is so quick to jump to conclusions about things he doesn't know about, and who has shown a lack of understanding in very simple communication ideas.
