Hello,
In a recent attempt to maximize my pathetic bandwidth, I noticed that
pppd was not compressing packets. I read through pppd's man page, and
from what I read, it should negotiate compression with my ISP
automatically. Just for good measure, I turned on a few additional
options, 'vj-max-slots' 16 and 'debug.'
Even with those, pppstats does not report any packets being
compressed:
IN PACK VJCOMP VJUNC VJERR | OUT PACK VJCOMP VJUNC
NON-VJ
2372 25 0 0 0 | 5696 81 0 0
81
I normally run pppd from inittab, and turned it off so I could view
it's output while connecting. For clarity, i'll post most of it's
output:

If someone could inform me as to whether I forgot something, or my
ISP does not support compression, i'd be thankful. On a side note,
what does the last line, LCP ProtRej, mean? It seems interesting to
me..
Thanks in advance,
Paul
