RE: TO COMPRESS OR NOT TO CMPRS (please reply)
This gets us back into the MTU issue. Shouldn't we be cranking down the MTU
for a route so that we can slide in our extra 40 bytes anyway?

To me the biggest benefit of using compression within ESP is the fact
that I wont have to FRAGMENT as many packets as I would normally due to
the addition of ESP's 40+ byte overhead.
Fragmentation can slow down links considerably, especially when they are
low-speed (28.8k), thus anything that helps prevent fragmentation is a
"good thing".
