All of the test data I have seen on the lists is apples to oranges -
ESPECIALLY the ping times.

Compression folks - the dictionary size difference can make for over
20ns difference, easily higher depending on the data. Ping packets
are amongst those that show the greatest difference.

When the new modem code is out with the 2048 dictionary, THEN compare them.

As a few users have mentioned already, if thye transfer compressed data
the performace is basically equal - because the V.42bis compression doesn't
have an impact.
