Claim:
1. A system for disabling header compression of TCP/IP headers during an establishment and configuration of a communication protocol and communication channel between a pair of correspondents, said system comprising an initiating correspondent and a responding correspondent, the responding correspondent further comprising a software module; said initiating correspondent and said responding correspondent being configured to perform operations comprising: the initiating correspondent transmitting at least one PPP negotiation packet having at least one acceptable TCP/IP header compression option type, said acceptable TCP/IP header compression option type being associated with a first instruction set for said establishment and configuration of said communication protocol and communication channel; the software module of the responding correspondent intercepting and examining said at least one PPP negotiation packet before said at least one PPP negotiation packet reaches a PPP layer of the responding correspondent; the software module modifying said acceptable TCP/IP header compression option type to an unacceptable TCP/IP header compression option type to establish a modified PPP negotiation packet, and transmitting said modified PPP negotiation packet to said PPP layer of the responding correspondent; said PPP layer of the responding correspondent receiving said modified PPP negotiation packet and rejecting said unacceptable TCP/IP header compression option type; said software module receiving said modified PPP negotiation packet having said unacceptable TCP/IP header compression option type; and said software module modifying said unacceptable TCP/IP header compression option type to said acceptable TCP/IP header compression option type, and transmitting said PPP negotiation packet to said initiating correspondent.
