[plug] Compression under PPP on a Red Hat 5.2 box

[Michael Hunt]

A couple of questions about PPP compression

1. Does the pppd on a Red Hat 5.2 box support STAC compression (this is
mainly for dial up to a server by 56k modem for downloading of files) ?
2. If STAC compression is used does anything have be changed on the Red Hat
box ?
3. Does the pppd 2.3.5 (I think that's the one that comes with Red Hat 5.2)
support MS STAC ?
4. What about Van Jacobson compression ?

At the moment I have a dial in server at work that I can dial into with Win
machines and my Linux box, however I am just tweaking the last little bit
out of it and was wondering what people knew about the use of such
compression with pppd
