After seeing transfer rates of 65kbytes/sec over 2 x 33.6k modems using deflate/predictor1 compression I'm also hanging out for compression that's compatible with a typical proprietary router such as a Cisco. Admittedly it was a highly compressible text file, but I'm sure there is still some benefit to be had in general use. My upstream provider doesn't even do _VJ_!! (I think this is more a policy decision though...) I also have a direct peering link with another ISP, FreeBSD at my end, Cisco his end. In this case there's no policy problem, just "compression incompatibility" - VJ is the best we've been able to acheive.
