    I'm running a 386/25 or 386/33, and I have ea4 and eb4 set in my
environment to guarantee maximum compression by pkzip.  If I'm
compressing, I'm not generall in that mush of a hurry.  Two or three
extra compression seconds can save a minute or two of transmission time
at 19.2K. 

    I was not particularly impressed with LHarc's compression, when
compared to pkzip's maximum.
