> Maybe they dynamically turn off the modem compression feature at both ends during an image download.  LZW-like compression actually adds overhead to files which are non-text based.

But any modern modem has v.42bis, and with v.42bis it automatically shuts
off the compression anyway!   (Maybe that was just v.42, I forget, but it
doesn't have the problems that MNP5 has with compressed files)  

Either way, this feature already exists....
