I am running FreeBSD 2.0.5 from the Walnut Creek CD on a 486 with 16MB RAM and a 1G hard drive. I have read the html handbook pages and have PPP working to the point where I can run ppp and dial the ISP. After the connect is made I have to manually type `add 0 0 HISADDR' into the ppp program in order to get things working. I think I understand that this entry is supposed to be in /etc/ppp/ppp.linkup in the form of ; X.X.X.X.: add 0 0 HISADDR Since I am using a dyniamic PPP address I do not know what to replace the Xs with. I have tried `0.0.0.0:' and even `0:' but neither work. What do I need to do? Next question is data compression (predicitive compression?) enabled the default. I have seen mention of disabling and denying compression and I am not too happy with the transfer rates. Do I need to add anything to the ppp.conf file to enable compression?

Vj compression only compresses headers, not the data portion of the packet. Predictor-1 compresses the entire packet. In both cases, the other end of your link must support compression. I turned off modem compression and enabled predictor-1 yesterday. Ping times to my next router went from 170Ms to 140Ms with a 21600 DCE link.
