NT RAS performance with Portmasters?

Not to keep beating the NT dead horse (alas, if only it *were* dead), but I
have a question about NT RAS (Remote Access Server). We have remote NT users
who use RAS to dial into our Portmaster via PPP (RAS is M$'s implementation
of PPP, with a few twists, for those unfamiliar with it). It works OK, but
the throughput is horrid. I get about 3 times the throughput using Chameleon
for Windows than with RAS on the exact same system running NT.

Based on what I've seen of NT's networking, I tend to think the cause is that
RAS is a just a poor implementation of PPP, but I'm wondering if others have
had similar experiences, or know of any way to improve the performance of
RAS.

AdvTHANKSance...
