You really should have everyone turn off software compression in Windows.

Stac compression won't have any benefit if V.42Bis is turned on in the
modem, and I doubt any of your users have V.42Bis turned off.

I think throughput might actually be reduced if both Stac and V.42Bis are
used, but I don't remember for sure.
