I believe that I didn't break zlib for normal use when I added the extensions but I would have to check that to be 100% sure. The PPP zlib.c is based on zlib-1.0.4, which is no longer the most recent version. I think it would be possible to make PPP use the standard zlib but with decreased performance. It's a long time since I looked at that stuff though. > A major problem is that the module name "deflate" is used by PPP, > despite it being a nonstandard format... No, the module name is "ppp_deflate".
