No idea - I haven't tried it myself, and porter seems to be AWOL.

I just randomly stumbled onto this, designed for low-bandwidth links in the developing world:

http://www.aptivate.org/loband

Loband is a service that simplifies web pages, in order to make them download faster over slow Internet connections. Loband is designed to run on a server in a high-bandwidth area. Users in low-bandwidth areas browse to the small Loband website, and then request the site they want to view. Loband then downloads the site, reduces it in size, and then sends it on to the user. /Loband requires no software download to function, works on most websites, and is automated and open-source.

/ETA/ I'm trying it out in my current browser (FF on XP) - so far it's working really well. Instant early-90s web

It choked on a form which requested a password.
