"Re: ppp registration vs. non-registration". My reply is thus...
Hi Gene,
I agree with you about registration, I am a registered owner of ppp.device. It
is *MUCH* faster than the unregistered version.
GH> Registered versions allow lots of things to be tweeked, like the
GH> fixed MTU=572 you have now can be taken up to 1500. That alone will
However, the above statement is incorrect. The following is a quote from the
docs about MTU.
"In the evaluation version of ppp.device this option is not functional and the
MTU value is fixed at 1500."
GH> crank the speed up on an otherwise good circuit by 20% or more,
GH> depends on the servers response time from ack to next packet
GH> outputed. I don't imagine that $15 US would cause a market crash in
GH> your area now, would it? <G>
GH> g> Is it really worth upgrading to registration?
GH> g> How much percentage is the speed increase?
GH> g> gugu@panix.com
