Another consultant asked me the other day about how to setup compression on W2K3 Server.  I didn't know but he found some articles, did some configuration, and with no other 3rd party products, now has added compression to his server (as long as the client supports it).  He told me that it made a little improvement for clients with quality high-speed connections; however, it made drastic improvement for those who were on low-speed connections like dial-up.

For more information on configuring, see:  Donnie Mack's HOW-TO, a TechNet article, and Brad Wilson's article.
