You can ``show modem'' for the speed and ``show lcp'' and ``show ccp'' for the compression stuff. I'm not sure what you mean by the ``protocol'', but it'll be in one of the ``show'' commands. Do a ``show ?'' for a list of them (or check the man page). > Or would I be better using a log trace... No - not really. The ``show'' commands only show up for a prompt such as you get from pppctl.
