	The max uncompressed speed I've ever got using a 115 kb/s link
is 66 kb/s, so with 45 kb/s you are getting pretty close.
	Now, speed depend on various factors, such as hardware, IrDA
stack and application. You need everything to be optimal to get the
best results. My results were with actisys dongles, Linux<->Linux,
with netperf. You can already see in my results that FTP is slower
than netperf. I can't really say anything about MS IrDA stack, I've
never used it.
	Regarding compression : result will vary a lot depending on
the data, from 0 improvement to 10x. Make sure that compression is
properly negociated at the PPP level.
