[arachne] Re: mru/mss setting (hope this is readable)

Cal,

From 'dospppd.txt', it states the following :

 The DOS PPPD program looks for options in several places besides the
 command line. The names and search order for the files are as follows:

  PPPD.CFG                in the current directory.
  PPPD.CFG                in the same directory PPPD.EXE is located.
  PPPDRC.CFG              in the current directory.
  command line options
  pppd 'file' option      full path given.
  PPPDCOM?.CFG            in the current directory.

 PPPD.CFG can be viewed as a global options file, as it can be located
 under the same directory PPPD.EXE resides.

 PPPDCOM?.CFG completes its name based on the COM port used, so invoking
 'pppd com1' will look for a PPPDCOM1.CFG file.

So, you should be able to give other settings like
MRU/MSS in either 'ppd.cfg' or 'ppdcom?.cfg' ...

BTW, my lspppcfg package supports 'pppd.cfg' too
(for lsppp) but I can't recall if MRU and MSS are
interpreted (it's been quite a while since I last
looked at the lspppcfg code;-). However, it does
not support 'pppdcom?.cfg' files.

Joe.

Where does one place a MRU 1500 setting to experiment with packet size using
epppd.exe?

Tried pppdrc.cfg which has modem settings.  MRU line is erased when dialing.
Does it have to be before another line?
Noticed when changing this file, Arachne will often connect but not retrieve
If I recall this file had an issue with a carriage return somewhere in file.

When checking environment variables using the SET command, is MRU setting
reflected in the PEERMRU variable?

In ppptcp.cfg file parameter is MSS.  Should this setting be used instead?
Is this file connected with epppd.exe?

There is also a wattcp.cfg which appears to be used only with Klos dialer.

Also want to try the -vj parameter.
