ipsec & compression

[Tina Bird]

I thought that a lot of VPN clients built compression
in?  I don't know about SecuRemote in particular, but I
do know that a lot of the other products I've reviewed
discuss compression algorithms in their technical
documentation.  It has to be done before the encryption
to be effective.
