:-) Now you started the "compressibility" wars...
4:1 is an ideal...like my car is supposed to be able to do 131 MPH...
Real world experience verifies that YMMV...totally dependent on the type
of data you're shipping around. Some will say 2:1 is realistic with
mostly compressible data like text/email. Mix that with non-compressible
"already compressed"/binary data, and the *average* drops down.
If the data is all re-compressed, then you *can* get a negative reading
due to the compressor "trying" first before giving up.

With latest *released* software on both ends, it does work. However you
need to specify STAC-9 on the MAX, and "mode" 3 on the cisco (don't recall
how you do that).
