For what it's worth, I'm using FreePPP 2.6.2 with OT 1.3 and sys 8.1. It's
a very nice combination indeed. I was previously using FreePPP 1.0.5 which
was very nice, small and spanner-like, and also substantially more stable
than 1.0.4. The Installation of 2.6.2 over 1.0.5 was an absolute piece of
cake, with a minimum of conversion of the account details; they have to be
tweaked just a little, but it's a simple task.

2.6.2 was definitely quicker than 1.0.5 on a 7500/100 with sys 7.5.2, and
it also lacked a few "features" that had crept into 1.0.5 (mainly evident
when using Addmail). I was very reluctant to switch but am now very happy
that I did.

On a G3, 2.6.2 fairly flies and is very simple to use.
