Don't know. If you can run a logging or large scroll window do 'set
console' and 'set beg 0x51' and watch the LCP negotiation. You might
also check to see if his netuser or RADIUS profile has compression on,
MPPP doesn't work with VJ header compression, make sure that compression
is turned OFF.

Yes, only Livingston can confirm/fix problem #2. There are memory leaks
and I *THINK* they have been found and fixed, mostly due to the efforts
of customers like YOU that provide us with the following kind of
information!

I *THINK* you memory leak problem has been fixed in ComOS 3.5b17...yes that
is BETA software. Read, READ, *READ* the release notes BEFORE you upgrade
you machines!!!

Apology not required, IMHO, but accepted none the less.

Feel free to call or email tech support concerning you issue. If you
don't have a case open to track this problem PLEASE call in and get one
open!

Thanks!
