Since the > ppp_deflate code uses the names locally - it looses. Since the ppp code is 'externally' maintained code, did you submit this patch to the author? If not, then we have to keep maintaining this change everytime we update it, which would imply that it would be easier to change the 'locally' maintained code. (Also, changing legacy code that uses names recently introduced seems silly, since the old names already existed.) Nate
