But you're defeated by your own argument, as according to you the image
doesn't compress very well, and I suspect (in fact I know) that hardware
compression at the modem is not as efficient as gzip -9 ... at best you
might be able to get that 22Mb we're talking about saving, down to a 10Mb
saving... you're still leaving the guy with the modem sat there for around
45 minutes...
