Quoth Mike Thompson on Fri, 26 March:
: I've been considering using FreeBSD 2.2.8 with PPP OVER TCP to 
: bridge two remote private networks over the Internet.  The following
: caveat appears in the PPP man page.  Does anyone have real-world 
: experience with this being a problem?

I've never used it at speeds over 56k.  The encapsulation seems to add
about 40ms to the ping latency, using iijppp on one end and kernel ppp on
the other, but I've never observed a significant performance
degradation due to packet loss.
