-------------------------------------------------------
In the process of evaluating possible connections between two IBM RS/6000
machines over telecommunications lines, I  would like to have some answers
on the following questions concerning the Point to Point protocol between
routers (PPP)
1- IBM does not support PPP on the RS/6000 AIX system today. Is there
anywhere a PPP version which runs without problems on an IBM RS/6000 over
the serial interface?
2- PPP is an alternative for a point-to-point SLIP connection between two
RS/6000 machines.
I would like to know what relative performance the two mentioned have on a
noncompresses (modems) 14k4 V32-bis analoge telecommunication line. Does
PPP have also a minimum packet length (overhead), and so on, and so on
Thanks in advance
