[ltp] Modem compression & kppp

[linux-thinkpad@www.bm-soft.com]

Anyone know how to get ppp compression enabled with kppp?

The throughput monitor on kppp does'nt seem to show a transfer rate
greater than my connect speed (usually 44000, ~4.4k/sec).

Compressed file transfers seem OK,  but when I am downloading 
large html pages or even large text files it still shows only ~4.4k
transfer rate where I would expect to reap some compression 
benefit.

I am using a 56k pcmcia modem.  I've tried various init strings 
to ensure modem compression is enabled (i.e, %C3 etc...)

This is on a 600e with Red Hat 7.1
