[comp.dcom.lans] Bridge Data Compression

Does anyone know of any low speed bridges ( i.e. 54kbps/ISDN BRI ) that
utilize compression techniques to increase throughput? Of course compression
techniques are commomly used in modems and I was wondering if similar
techniques where being utilized in the case of slower speed digital links?

Also has anyone had experience using such a bridge to connect smaller 
LANtastic/Novell LANs? Is the throughput acceptable? I realise that the
answer to this question depends to a large degree on the LAN configurations
and usage, but any information would be gratefully accepted.

Thanks in advance for any and all info.
