Joergen, 

It's working great for me.  I'm running a dedicated PPP link to my host
site, passing quit a bit of data back and forth.  Here's a line from my
pppstat:

    in    pack    comp uncomp     err |    out    pack    comp uncomp     ip
26395183  58698  50868  6320       0  |  1268750  56654   49096  5999     1559


The only thing I was would be added is a redial option if the link should
drop for some reason.  Something along the lines of what SL/IP has.

Other than that, it's working great for me!

Steve
