Absolutely, this is quite clear from the pppd man page (and presumably
somewhere in the Livingston docs too) - except, of course, that it's 32
characters and 12.5%:-) And while I never had any problems with no
'asyncmap' setting in pppd (thus getting ffffffff, i.e. all 32
characters masked), I *have* verified that putting in the 'asyncmap 0'
gave me ~ 10% increased throughput when downloading compressed data.
