I set it up but I'm never able to use mlppp. It's like there's an init string sent to the bitsurfr just before dialing that put it in ppp mode with one channel. I talked to a motorola tech support yesterday and he told me there is no way the unit should reset itself, so he pointed out that there's a high probability that my unit is defective. Is the tcp extensions stuff supported by the bitsurfr mlppp? And what about the Van Jacobson compression? I disabled and enabled them without any change in behaviour.
