In the ppp documentation it says that the author did some experiments with these compression schemes, and due to the substantial computational resources needed, it was possible to get a significant higher throughput with the compression taking place outside the modem than if the modem provided the compression. karsten ---------- >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: R�f. : RE: ppp-compression-24 26 modules >Date: Fri, May 26, 2000, 01:53 > > Thanks for your help.
