ppp compression problem

[da Bobstopper <rmarlow@tartarus.uwa.edu.au>]

i don't know if any of u saw the piles of junk i was getting before in my
ppp.log file but after looking at it i noticed a good deal of it was from
receiving a protocol 0xfd. i looked it up and found it to be compressed
datagrams.

i turned off bsd and deflate compression and the problem has gone away so far
it seems. i don't really like the idea of turning off software data compression
so does anyone know what the problem could be at all and how i could go about
fixing it more appropriately?

i've run into another problem on another machine i've setup with ppp regarding
lcp protocol rejects. the protocols being rejected appear to be quite random
and i'm unsure of what's causing them. i thought perhaps it was because data
was being corrupted since i was using a 33.6k modem with an old 16450 UART 
serial port, but i've upgraded the serial ports and the problem hasn't gone 
away. does anyone have any suggestions about what this could be as well?

thanks, i look forward to a response
