I'd love to know how it works....
Without knowing that, I can't even guess if it would be useful to me.

The biggest issue I found w/ zipproxy (and I like it) is that it does not have an internal dns caching system -
so each time a hostname is hit - it tries to resolve it
So - if you use it - make sure to install a dns caching system along w/ it
Also - make sure to run as a daemon as well.

You mean like Proxyconn? We used to use that, but stopped because they
haven't made any new software for a long time as well.
http://ziproxy.sourceforge.net/ is what we replaced it with. Basically
ziproxy being the customer facing side of a squid server. Even speeds up
1mbps sort of connections, though not as dramatically as dialup. And of
course since it's just a proxy setting, it works with all operating
systems and browsers.
I have no idea how it compares with propel.

OK, this looks interesting. It would be nice to drop the amount of data
across especially busy parts of the network!
Anyone else used this or something similar?
This looks a lot like the dialup accelerator software packages that were all
the rage several years ago. I'd just about bet Propel's service requires
software to be installed on the customer's PC. Assuming that's the case, you
won't be able to install it on a Netflix box or a PS3 or basically anything
that's not a standard desktop computer. Thus, depending on your customer
base, you may not see all that much traffic reduction.
We have something similar, from another vendor. It works well enough, though
we were marketing it primarily towards dialup users; at the time (several
years ago) the effects on a 1Mbps connection were negligible. This probably
has changed over time, but our vendor wanted a crazy amount of money to sell
us an update that would be compatible with Windows Vista, so we haven't
really tested it in quite a while.
