FreeBSD and NetZero

[Steel City Phantom]

if memory serves, netzero started some kick on fastest dial up network 
on the net by implementing some kind of over the line compression.  if 
thats the case then it would be more than just a network protocol, but 
some kind of compression routine that you would need to duplicate.  i 
hate to say it but you MAY find a netzero support tech with a brain that 
would be able to confirm if im right or not.
