[NTLUG:Discuss] Bandwidth problems with poptop

[David Stanaway]

Is anyone using poptop for 'Doze VPN clients?

I am using it with MPPE encryption, but get low throughput which does
not seem to be constrained by CPU at either end.

XP Client transfering at 20kb/s @ 5-10% CPU
3GHz Xeon linux poptop server. 0.2% CPU

I have tried changing the pptpd.conf spped setting (For the baud rate
for the ppp connection) but this seems to have no effect.

Does anyone have any other suggestions?
