I am interested in the numbers of sessions (probably PPTP with weak encryption) and total bandwith, that can be achieved with, e.g.: . 300MHz CPU, . 1GHz CPU, . 2GHz CPU. Won't PPPoE behave better than PPTP? (My goals are authentication and performace.) I guess poptop will be much slower and is not a good solution for bigger setup (since it works entirely in userland)? I'm talking about small ISP environment, about 100-200 simultaneous connections over LAN, about 5-10Mbit/s total bandwith. TIA, -- Paweł Małachowski
