I would recommend using synchronous PPP (PPP over HDLC) as it hast
the fewest percentage of protocol overhead... Possibly also lower latency
time, but I'm not sure about that one.


The string to use with a ZyXEL ISDN adapter is at&o2b40

The terminal server you are dialing into must support HDLC-PPP of course.


If it does further support Multilink PPP you could also combine two 
B-channels for more throughput and higher phone charges :-)


The string to use for that feature on a ZyXEL is

Macintosh:
at&f&o2b40&d0&j3ja59kam0kas30js59ksm0kss20

(I kid you not...)

Windows:
at&f&o2b40&d2&j3ja59kam0kas30js59ksm0kss20


It will open the second B-channel only after reaching continuous throughput
of 59 KBit/s on the first channel during 30 seconds. The second channel
will be dropped when the throughput drops again.


This will not work with firmware versions older than 2.03.

You can find instructions (in german) on how to update to the most recent
version at
