Most modems use compression protocols such as V.42bis. You don't gain much, if anything, from compressing data sent through such devices, or from using other techniques such as stripping redundant whitespace from HTML. In my experience, most ISDN connections don't use link level compression - techniques such as mod_gzip have some merit in this case. Tom
