- 14.4K is fine. The increase in "speed" has more to do with the fact that
- with the registered version VJ Compression can be applied to packets,
- than with the speed of your link.

- And in any case, 15 Dollars is so little to pay for all the work that
- Holger has put into ppp.device. Without his having been bothered to make
- the effort, there would probably be no ppp.device for the Amiga. If you
- intend to make use of it, you should at least be bothered enough to
- show your appreciation by registering it (and whatever else you're using
- that seems to think your name is UNREGISTERED VERSION [THOR] ;-)
