How did you set up your hardware under win95.
I set it up but I'm never able to use mlppp. It's like there's an init 
string sent to the bitsurfr just before dialing that put it in ppp mode 
with one channel.
I talked to a motorola tech support yesterday and he told me there is no 
way the unit should reset itself, so he pointed out that there's a high 
probability that my unit is defective.

Is the tcp extensions stuff supported by the bitsurfr mlppp? And what 
about the Van Jacobson compression? I disabled and enabled them without 
any change in behaviour.
