[TriLUG] PoPToP VPN performance

[Ryan Wheaton]

Yes, I was copying from home (cable) to work (T1) via the VPN.  It's a 
comcast cable modem, which, I imagine that it's about the same upload 
speed as TWC.  I did not try the file transfer without the VPN, but I 
will tonite.  I'll check out some of the MTU stuff too.  Thanks for the 
suggestions.
