ppp max speed

[Grant Morphett]

I played a little more and the largest speed setting I could configure in pppd
was 921600 so I am assuming ppp can't go any faster then that.

Yes I am running ppp over ssh but don't think its the compression/encryption.  On
the slow box ssh and pppd are using 18% cpu each and there is nothing else
running on that box.  Plenty of spare horses.

cheers
