- It'll run but practical performance will suffer because PEP is not a
- symmetric protcol. ie) it gives you gobs of bandwidth in only one direction
- at a time, and the modems must renegotiate to change the direction. This
- might not cause you much problem if the majority of your traffic is in one
- direction, but with an arbitrary IP link between to LANs, you can't really
- predict that.
