I've seen lots of stuff about this.  But -- my $0.02 -- it is just stuff as far as *NIX is 
concerned because the only way to download a web page faster with dial up is to have 
someone compress it on the other end of you connection.

Since HTML is text, it *could* be compressed -- why it isn't is something I am at a loss 
to understand.  Note that IIUC Linux already is able to decompress it.
