Does your dialup access server have Van Jacobsen compression turned on? If
not, that might be causing the problem. All of our Windows 95 users have
the software compression enabled and have no problems. For what it's
worth, we're using Ascend Maxes. So long as the user's modem supports it
(virtually all non-generic ones do), hardware compression is enabled along
with error control.
