[pptp-server] Performance difference between TCPIP and SMB traffic

[Tife Chan]

Hi George,

I have already set the option "speed 115200" in pptpd.conf.
And if I run pppstats to analyse the traffic, the IN/OUT shows that 
ftp is about 10 times faster than copying file through smb.

Thanks.

Regards,
Tife
