I've watched the discussion about the need for compression to be added
to the various services run over packet radio. Why is everyone so
intent on modifying *every* service individually? What we need is to
have the ax.25 protocol layer negotiate compression on connect. Then
individual users and sysops can decide if they want to allow compression
(or require it) on their systems. If the transport protocol is doing the
compression, the individual services don't have to be modified - it would be
transparent to them. Let's put the effort in creating a solid compression
strategy where it belongs, and every program can benefit from it.
