correct me if im wrong, but encryption and compression are COMPLETELY
different, and in most cases, encryption results in LARGER payloads.
/me hangs his head in dissapointment

I'm not exactly sure where the 128k came into play.... but you are right
about end point to endpoint. If either of the ends tops out at 64k, then the
throughput will only be 64k. Regardless of compression/and or vpn
acceleration.

I could be off here...but I believe the accelerator card only helps the cpu
intense part of encrypting/decrypting traffic. You would still be limited
to internet speed which involves amount of traffic between endpoints, etc.
Maximum would be 128K unless you have alot of traffic going through that can
be compressed. In that case that traffic can go faster than 128K but most
files that can be compressed on the fly with noticable difference are
uncompressed files such as .bmp, .txt, comma delimited files, etc.
