On or about 07-Mar-96 09:24:23 Gene Heskett typed the following words about
"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
