You will find that MNP modems do not compress compressed files properly in fact it slows down transmission speed by a large margin. The compression mode is actually for text type files. When using an HST type modem and you send .WRP, .LZH, etc type files you turn off the commpression mode to transfer data, this way you will realize the maximum transfer rates these modems were ment to funtion at.
