The header compression keeps the length of interactive packets (TELNET, rlogin) below the threshold where PEP switches to large packets. This makes interactive activity quite palatable. This has turned out to be a boon to people using the NetBlazer and a PEP modem (TB+, T1000, or T2500) for ad-hoc international IP connections. -- Brian Lloyd, WB6RQN Telebit Corporation Network Systems Architect 1315 Chesapeake Terrace brian@napa.telebit.com Sunnyvale, CA 94089-1100 voice (408) 745-3103 FAX (408) 734-3333
