Sorry, I think he spoke too soon. NT uses MPPC, M$'s private variation
on compression. (As opposed to 'MS-Stac' which is an actually true Stac
variant - Option 4 - just not 'normal' in the industry.) There have been
persistent on-again, off-again rumors that NT5, I mean W2K, will support
MS-Stac as well. But not to date.
You could RFE MPPC support, except for the first some-odd cards, the Stac
cards use the 9711 chip which can do it. (The older cards, before the 9711
was available, use a 9710.) However, since only NT uses it I'd have to say
the market demand is less than overwhelming. Especially since few NT machines
are actually being used for dialin clients. (Few in a comparative sense.)
