I have recently bought a Trust Communicator 33k6 (external).  I am not
using Win95 though.  According to the manual it *does* support both
error correction and compression.  My experiences seem to bear this
out.  I regularly get (reported) 33k6 connections to COLT, and the
news download speeds are often >6000cps (as reported by my dialler)
indicate that compression is in effect.
