When I'm at home, downloading mail, source, html or other compressible
mediums with ppp(8) usually always gets me a peak of 15kB/s with a 33600
baud modem. Depending on the content, that goes as high as 90kB/s. That's
with two machines running ppp(8) linked. I don't see that with one side
using pppd.

However, since this idea has been shot down, interested parties can get it
from www.afulhak.org once the final set of NetBSD patches are intergrated.
