Mine doesn't.
My ppp is from bo, version 2.2.0f-23
My pppd is pppd version 2.2 patch level 0, on a 1.3.1 system recently
upgraded with a Cheap Bytes CD. On the pppd man page source I find

Thanks very much for your responses. All responders recommended
using ppp instead of slip. I will try a ppp setup tonight.
I started trying to use slip because the NET-3-HOWTO recommends

than over a modem since the modem should already be doing hardware
compression.

kindly posted this solution. Put this on both machines in
