Hello !

I used ssh over slow lines, so compression can help in such
situations. Native UNIX ssh client have this possibility.
man ssh(1):
[skip]
     -C Requests compression of all data (including stdin, stdout,
             stderr, and data for forwarded X11 and TCP/IP connections). The
             compression algorithm is the same used by gzip(1), and the
             ``level'' can be controlled by the CompressionLevel option. Com-
             pression is desirable on modem lines and other slow connections,
             but will only slow down things on fast networks. The default
             value can be set on a host-by-host basis in the configuration
             files; see the Compression option.
[skip]

I think it's very frequently asked feature for ppls used
PuTTY over dialup connections.

Thanks.
