Off-topic I know but hey, it's quiet on the list, and you guys are SO
helpful :-)
I have an HTML file that is 82kb in size. BUT on my 56k dialup it downloads
at 20k/s ~ 4 seconds. This is obviously due to compression.
Winzip compresses it down to 6kb.
Anyway, my question:
Do all modems compress data as well as mine would appear to, or will this be
an insanely slow download for most?
