In the file pppd/plugins/pppol2tp/pppol2tp.c
there is this code:
/* Setup option defaults. Compression options are disabled! */
modem = 0;
lcp_allowoptions[0].neg_accompression = 1;
lcp_wantoptions[0].neg_accompression = 0;
lcp_allowoptions[0].neg_pcompression = 1;
lcp_wantoptions[0].neg_pcompression = 0;
and I have been wondering why no matter what options I was trying tweak, I couldn't make me side of PPP link use VJ:

Any idea why this restriction is in place? The other side was willing to use compression.
