Perfect!  Thanks so much!  That link was exactly what I needed.  I guess I 
must have searched aganst different parameters and didn't get to it.  I must 
have missed those advanced settings, and sure enough, MPPE wasn't enabled. 
So it wasn't as much a question of compression, but rather encryption that 
wasn't set properly.  Enabled the MPPE encryption in the advanced options, 
and now it works properly.

Thanks again so much!

Eric
