The following : caveat appears in the PPP man page. Does anyone have real-world : experience with this being a problem? I've never used it at speeds over 56k. The encapsulation seems to add about 40ms to the ping latency, using iijppp on one end and kernel ppp on the other, but I've never observed a significant performance degradation due to packet loss.
