Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks - Tim pppd only supports VanJacobson header compression. Usually, the TA will do the STAC compression internally. What type of TA do you have? Also, In most TA's that I have worked with, 128K is SLOWER than 64K when serial is 115k2, because the TA spends so much time bringing up and dropping the second channel, the throughput drops dramatically. If you have $60 you were going to use to start a fire tonite, instead save it and get a 16650 serial card. Paul Kenyon KC0BDI - Kansas City, MO
