data compression table
A table of values assigned for each character during a call under data compression.
Default values in the table are continually altered and built during each call: the longer the
table, the more efÞcient throughput gained.
If a destructive Break is sent during a call (see the &Y command), causing the modems to
reset the compression tables, you can expect diminished throughput.
