OK I admit I didn't have a can opener handy when I got the DSLpipe but
the outer appearance of it made me think it was the same hardware as a
P50. Esp. when I saw the firmware interface with lots of parameters
which have no meaning in a DSLpipe but in a (ISDN) P50.
At least I thought it reasonable to assume that the CPU performance is
of the same order of magnitude. I once ran into a CPU related
performance bottleneck with a P50 (I connected it to a populated shared
LAN segment for bridging...ouch). And here I see the same effects.
Not that it matters much: does someone from LUCENT dare comment on this?

wonder, wonder..why do you prefer FR over PPP? Do you get better figures
with FR over "real world" lines - as I don't with the 100% loss-free
wire in the lab.
Best regards,
Wolfgang
