For many of us, the compression will be needed in thousands of notebooks, in
their TCP/IP stack. Software speeds, for now, should be able to keep up
with 28.8 comm rates (128 for ISDN). So for companies like FTP/Software,
Novell, and Microsoft (and NetManage, etc) the number of copies to license
will be large...
