Is pppd worth the headaches of installation and configuration? Is there any significant performance improvement by switching tp pppd since I'll be connecting to another FBSD box (any secret settings could improve my performance)? I'm currently accessing my ISP with a 28.8Kbps modem. Thanks in advance for your help. -- Burton Sampley Email: bsampley@best.com | home page: http://www.best.com/~bsampley
