What happens without and with this? As I read ppp(8), it could take up to 50 IPCP configreqs at 3 seconds to negotiate IP and/or DNS addresses?
My experience was that the link would sometimes fail to come up. I'm not sure why retrying works - it's as if the remote end wants to use NetBIOS but will occasionally allow a connection without it. It's possible that this is no longer required - I haven't tried removing it.
The 3 second timeout isn't really an issue because the remote end will normally immediately respond - with either an ACK or NACK.
Ah yes, thanks. Ok them suggesting NetBIOS, as long as you can decline!
cheers, Ian
