I don't know what flavor of BSD these folks have, but the "user-ppp" supplied with FreeBSD (and I believe OpenBSD as well, maybe even Net) support "Predictor-1" compression which I believe is what Ascend uses (RFC 1978). It would be downright silly if 3Com didn't support this. There's even example code in the RFC.

A couple of our customers are using bsd boxes to connect to us via ppp. They are complaining that since we've changed to 3com equipment their connections are slower, because the hiper-arc will not negoiate compression control protocol with them. I have looked into this and it seems that the hiper-arc only knows 3 types of compression: Ascend, Stack and Microsoft. Is this true, or is there a hidden command within the hiper-arc to enable more of the ppp rfc compression protocols?
