I have some classes -- SendCompressedBuffer and
ReceiveCompressedBuffer -- that may be helpful.
SendCompressedBuffer uses bzip to compress data
before it forwards the data.  It is able to marshall files
and other data.  There's an archive -- fear not, it's all of
17,517 bytes -- that you can download and has the classes
I mentioned.
