I using pppd-2.3.0b3 on 2.1.7.1. 
Some little patches to compile and no problems in work.
But I have problems to compile 2.3.0b3 under 2.2.2.
2.3.0 under 2.1.7.1&2.2.2 too.

I have analog dedicated line ( Courier 33600 ) to my ISP.
Modem compression enabled. With turned on deflate link speed lower than
w/o deflate. MTU 1500. What deflate block size should I use ?

Imho, good reason usage of deflate on sync lines.
