I have seen a bug in several implementations of PPP, including the one that comes with FreeBSD, that would cause slowness if the remote end did not support VJ compression. The software would attempt to negotiate VJ, get a "deny" message from the remote, and then proceed to use VJ anyway. The software would send every packet with VJ enabled, get a timeout, and then resend it VJ turned off. -- David H. Brierley Work: dhb@ssd.ray.com UNIX Hacker Extraordinaire Home: dave@galaxia.com
