- On or about 07-Mar-96 09:24:23 Gene Heskett typed the following words about
- "Re: ppp registration vs. non-registration". My reply is thus...
-
- Hi Gene,
-
- I agree with you about registration, I am a registered owner of ppp.device. It
- is *MUCH* faster than the unregistered version.
-
- GH> Registered versions allow lots of things to be tweeked, like the
- GH> fixed MTU=572 you have now can be taken up to 1500. That alone will
-
- However, the above statement is incorrect. The following is a quote from the
- docs about MTU.
-
- "In the evaluation version of ppp.device this option is not functional and the
- MTU value is fixed at 1500."
-
- GH> crank the speed up on an otherwise good circuit by 20% or more,
- GH> depends on the servers response time from ack to next packet
- GH> outputed. I don't imagine that $15 US would cause a market crash in
- GH> your area now, would it? <G>
-
- GH> g> Is it really worth upgrading to registration?
-
- GH> g> How much percentage is the speed increase?
-
- GH> g> gugu@panix.com
