It has come to my attention that this slow login phenomenon is showing up again. From the Release Note: ********************************************************** Windows 95 clients took too long to connect to the MAX 4000. This fix introduced in: 5.0Ap8 When a Windows 95 client dialed into a Max 4000, the PPP negotiation could take as long as 60 sec- onds. The negotiation process has been streamlined so it completes in much less time. ********************************************************** This had indeed gone away at the Ap8 and subsequent patches, which I had confirmed by skimming through dumps myself. I had understood that this "problem" is all to blame Microsoft's poor implementation, not Ascend' at all*. However, why does a workaround once put in the place have to mysteriously be pulled back? You can't tell my user to turn M$ compression off ; this is a problem _precisely_ because there's a version of WindozeNT that CAN NOT turn the cursed proprietary compression off. * see my past article, "(ASCEND) [Max4k] Why CCP TerminateAck'ing to CCP ConfigReq's?" for details.
