 I doubt, there will ever be STAC compression available in any free PPP
 implementation.

Agreed.  I've talked to both Microsoft and Stac Electronics about 
this.  The only mention in user-ppp is where it identifies frames and 
parses LCP requests.

Strange enough - i ftp'ed me the linux ISDN stuff, and there seem to be
a STAC compression implementation based on the RFC in it. I'm really,
_really_ interested in STAC's reaction to that, even more because the
author seems to be fully aware of the patent situation.

LZS (STAC) compression in i4b?

1999-03-25 Thread Peter Mutsaers 
Hello,

Does current i4b support LZS/STAC compression? My ISP just enabled it
on their ISDN ports, I'd like to use it.

Or is compression not necessary in the kernel driver, but in the
userspace programs (ppp, pppd). When I grep through ppp sources I do
see STAC mentioned somewhere.
