[pptp-server] Win98 "connection speed"

[Neale Banks]

Greetings all,

I have PoPToP running with PPP-2.3.9 and things are mostly well :-)

However, a very significant user is getting variable "connected at ..."
rates reported - typically 9600 or 57600 - when connecting with Win98
(authenticating with mschap-v2 and negotiating mppe :-) and variable
performance of the PPTP link (still working on establishine a correlation
here).

1) can anyone explain the significance of or provide pointers discussing
the significance of this figure?

2) is there anything in PoPToP/ppp I can/should tweak to optimise this end
of things?

Thanks,
Neale.
