- The NON-Registered version of PPP is Slower then CSLIP! If you havn't
- registered PPP Yet do so and you'll get a pretty good Speed Incress. I really
- don't see a need to use PPP right now, and wouldn't unless I registered a copy
- as CSLIP works great and is just as Fast as the Registered version of PPP
- anyway.
