See www.pipeboost.com
It compresses HTTP payloads (HTML, javascript etc.) by quite a huge factor. Apparently IE4 + can decompress the pages transparently. We've been tying to get a branch that has a crap pipe onto our intranet application

A proxy server is effectively a client-side solution, and only works for static(ish) content
We've had a play with it and it seems to work very well indeed. 400k pages are compressed down to 80k or so - I'm just a bit concerned about CPU overhead on the server. Having said that, processors are cheap these days
You're right about the JPEG's etc - it knows not to try compressing them
