Jeff,
 
We do ns/vt over ppp to our 3k (using a Livingston Portmaster) on a regular
basis and this is what we discovered:
 
1. works great
2. the tcp/ip stack could influence performance. we first used trumpet and
it would 'pause' periodically. Not anything like you describe, but
noticeable. Once we converted to the win-95 tcp/ip stack the periodic
'pause' went away.
