nevermind... Guess it does work. I had my input/output/ratio things 
screwed up in my proxy log... It shows ( now ) 

"GET http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/directive-dict.html 
HTTP/1.1" 200 4440 
"http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/mod_deflate.html" 
"Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) 
Gecko/20040803 Firefox/0.9.3" 
(28) (15498) (4422)

.... so I took a 15K page and deflated it to 4K on the browser
side... not too shaby... need to see if I run into any problems.
