The datarate won't exceed the modem bitrate, if your data is fully
compressed before sending - it can't do, by definition of the word
"fully"! (-8

Bear in mind that, as well as document compression, and modem
compression, there is a third option which is to compress the IP data
going over the point-to-point link. If this is done, then the link
from computer to modem need be no faster than the modem bitrate.
(Assuming the IP data compression is as good as the modem's.)
