Since pppd works, I haven't fussed with it. I've personally tried to use both. I wanted to use ijppp because it supports predictor-1 compression and some tests showed better than 2x throughput on my ISDN line. However ijppp also _consistantly_ disconnected whenever I did a large FTP, so I eventually switched back to pppd. When I requested help from the list [this was about a year ago; I've not retried since... :-)] most of the messages came back with "Yeah, we had that problem too so we switched to pppd." So I did too... :-)!! Much obliged, Mike +--------------------------------------+------------------------------------+ | Mike Newell | The opinions expressed herein | | Affiliation: | are mine.
