I'm not certain whether this is relevant to your problem or not but my Python 27871-XXX (Compaq OEM) and mt from Testing (and Potato when I used that) needs "datcompression 2" to turn compression ON and "datcompression 0" to turn it OFF. "datcompression 1" simply reports the status of compression without changing it. Hope this helps. /Anton -- Cheer up, the worst is yet to come.
