I've looked at that. Its very Linux-centric and i gave up for the moment
when i realized how much work it would be to port it.
Brian's ppp over i4b does support deflate compression and i get very
good results out of it - too good to put more work into the above URL.

There will be a netgraph node interface which will link an i4b B-channel
to netgraph. There are no plans from my side to netgraphify the D-channel
part of i4b.

- this "flatrate" will only be available to T-Online customers. Since i'm
not such a beast and will probably never become one its of not much use
for me.
- my usage of the internet is not much compatible with what this "flatrate"
offers.
- the Telecom does not give away anything for free. Check when, why and
most important how you are using the internet: the savings you get using
this "flatrate" does not pay even a fraction of the time and work needed
to implement this - in my eyes.
Anyway, i will happily accepting (clean) code which implements it :-)
