From the keyboard of D. Rock: > I'm curious why user level ppp isn't propagated more in this mailing list. I was running a link with i4b ipr's at both ends for several years and was curious about datacompression on this link. One day, after evaluating mppd and finding out that it currently is not able to do datacompression (out-of-the-box) i converted this link to use ppp (with some help understanding some "dark-corner-issues", thanks a lot, Brian!) with i4b on both sides. Both sides run FreeBSD 3.4-something and since then i'm very satisfied with it. For pure ASCII data, i get (ftp) transfer rates of ~20Kb/sec (and i have also seen 35Kb/sec ... 40Kb/sec) using deflate compression instead of the usual 7.5Kb/sec. Since this is a one-side-callback, both-side-dial-on-demand link, some tricky and non-obvious configuration was setup. This is mainly due to the fact that ppp is mainly based on the idea that dialling and calling out is generally initiated by a user and not fully automatically and without any user intervention. I still want to write a short documentation about this setup, but i didn't found the time to do it so far. hellmuth -- Hellmuth Michaelis Tel +49 40 55 97 47-70 HCS Hanseatischer Computerservice GmbH Fax +49 40 55 97 47-77 Oldesloer Strasse 97-99 Mail hm [at] hcs.de D-22457 Hamburg WWW http://www.hcs.de To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isdn" in the body of the message
