Re: [TCLUG:5023] Kernel Question

Well, that means right now you don't get software compression. I noticed a
major improvement when I enabled those modules. To enable it, add the
following lines to /etc/conf.modules:

alias ppp-compress-1 off # This is Predictor-1, not yet supported
alias ppp-compress-21 bsd_comp
alias ppp-compress-24 ppp_deflate
alias ppp-compress-26 off

That'll fix you up.
