Once upon a time Jacob Suter shaped the electrons to say...
>Will Stac compression work on low speed sync lines too (ie - 56K,
>frac-t1's, etc?)

Technically yes - just negotiate CCP during PPP.

Officially we are committing to it on OR-ISDN units and the PM-3 for ISDN.

We plan to evaluate it on OR-SYNC units and the PM-3 for leased lines.
We expect that at some point the clock speeds would be too high for
compression to be efficient. So *if* we do it, it will likely auto disable
itself when the line speed goes above a certain level.

Ie, it makes some sense on a 64K or 128K line - but NOT on a full T1.
