No, it's implemented in the PPP stack...which is usually running on the
host/PC/workstation behind the modem - and behind the comms port..

Win95 supports STAC compression (albeit with their own mode - which many
RAS's also support), so you would disable modem compression and enable
the DUN compression option.
