doesnt a modem automatically compress/decompress when it downloads. You may not
gain anything and modems use hardware?

Apache can already gzip up content on the fly, and upon receiving the correct
headers, many modern browsers will decompress it all. I don't know the
mechanics of implementing the compression, but I seem to remember that the PHP
website uses it (I've seen 4x speed increases quoted).
