[net.micro.mac] Modem link data compression program

art@ucla-cs.UUCP (02/26/86)

I'd like to hear about any program that uses data compression
to speed up the effective speed of a modem link.  I've seen
such a program inoperation on the IBM pc.  It uses the Lempl-Ziv
adaptive data compression algorithm and can turn your 1200
baud modem into a 9600 baud line (depending on the text stream).
It works by having a compression and decompression program
at each end.  Is there something like MacTerminal that does
this?  Does it talk to a Unix system, or have the source
code for a filter at the other end?
Thanks
