RES: [pptp-server] MPPC support in PPTD

[David Moylan]

why would you want to implement MPPC over a compressed link anyway?

i mean, chances are you are remotely connecting via
(a) a dialup modem or (b) a dialup ISDN/ADSL link or similar

both these mediums will be compressing anyhow. and won't you have
something like VJ or COMPRESS with ppp?

double compression brings down the performance and creates more
traffic.

cheers, Wiz!!

I know! I am trying to tell you that.

I am also trying to tell you that as far as I can tell, nobody has written
any mppc code for pppd/pptpd for linux. Hence you cannot have the little
bit of compression that you desire.
