/sbin/modprobe bsd_comp
/sbin/modprobe ppp_deflate
PPPD will uses these if you call them in /etc/ppp/options. To use them,
add these lines in:
deflate x,x
bsdcomp x,x
For Deflation, x is any number from 8-15. For BSD compression, x is 9-15.
Read the man page on pppd for more details.
You can put both lines in /etc/ppp/options, but if both are called,
deflation will be used, and BSD compression will basically be ignored. Of
course, Deflation does a better job, but it works the server a bit
harder. Some ISP's won't support compression, in which case you should
complain, because compression would make the connection seem noticeably
faster if used properly.
I may be wrong on any or all of the above points. Go read up and find out
for yourself. :)
