It turns out that the Cisco 2509 at the other end of the PPP
connection didn't like me trying to negotiate the MRU with it, and
rejected my LCP configuration request (which included pcomp and
accomp). Hence I needed -mru in my pppd command line. At this point
I'm sending at 12K/sec and receiving at 10K. The remaining
discrepancy needs further analysis.
Perhaps this should be added to the relevant HOWTO. The Cisco 2500 is
a fairly new piece of hardware, but I suspect that it will be a fairly
popular one since it's a good, cheap, flexible router.
