In order to fully do the v42.bis compression, you need a rate that is ~4x your connect rate. At 56kb, that would be 230,400 but most systems have 115,200 as a divisor of 1 for the uart and they won't go that high. If you have a slow system, it may not be able to support sio at 115200 and you could have to drop it until everything is reliable. He may need to specify rts/cts buffering. It seems like the system defaults to everything proper except the speed of 115200. > > > After starting ppp -auto ondemand, how to shut it down gentlely?

That won't work because he isn't running interactive. What he sees is Working in interactive mode Warning: No available tunnel devices found (Device busy) The -auto starts it up in the background and he has to close it down by other means such as setting up ppp to allow pppctl to be used to pass commands to ppp. I use a local domain socket and that leaves a mess if you don't close things down properly :). I have done that many times and had to clean up the mess afterwards :).
