LZW with the BT (british telecom) extentions will not expand the data. modem compression frees your processor for other tasks, letting the modem do some of the work (of course the cost here is more bytes thru the serial port since the modem un/compresses the data. could be a problem for cheesy uarts or chessy clones of decent uarts) jmb Jonathan M.
