What do you mean "Is it really worth upgrading to registration?" IS $15.00 too much to ask for even if you only use the program ONCE A DECADE? regardless of any "speed increase". Let's see - what would that cost someone - oh, maybe a new "Alice in Chains" CD, or .75 months of Internet connection, or a movie ticket and popcorn, three hours working at min. wage. Jeesh, what an attitude. What if people like Holger decides that he has had enough of you "cheap charlies" and goes away? Fred -- AWF .sig

Registered versions allow lots of things to be tweeked, like the fixed MTU=572 you have now can be taken up to 1500. That alone will crank the speed up on an otherwise good circuit by 20% or more, depends on the servers response time from ack to next packet outputed.

Ofcourse it is! It's not a question of *if* to registrate... If you use it, you *should* registrate! Mr. Kruse have spend a lot of time doing it. I think $15 isn't so hard to raise. And yes, it is a speed difference.. How much in procent I can't tell..

Most importantly, you'll be helping an Amiga developer to
continue to support our favorite computer! That should be
incentive enough.

Hmm, so that might translate into unbelieveably fast transfer rates
for my 28.8 (which already gets 3000-3200 cps during ftp file
transfers), once my keyfile arrives in a week or so. (Just sent off
the registration yesterday)

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
