Hi!!

I have a Linux-Box (YEAHH I just love it!!) as Proxy (Squid +
Masquerade) for a small LAN using a 56K-Modem for Dial-up. The LAN
formerly used A NT-Box with WinGate.

I noticed, that Wingate definitively dialed faster (shorter delay)
than pppd 2.3.8 (setup to dial on demand) does. It is annying for
example using Eudora to fetch mail. The time pppd needs to establish
the connection is too long for Eudora. You always have to reinitiate a
'fetch new mail' (it runs into a timeout on first try). On Wingate
this worked fine.

Has anyone any idea how to speed up that stuff??
