A Checkpoint employee told me about the compression with securemote
that:
"This will be available in the next release using the deflate
algorithm."
I was surprised as you are that it is not possible with the current
version to compress data before encrypting them because it makes a vpn
connection on a ppp connection a lot slower with the vpn than without.
