Yes. You are in a sync world, so everyone knows how much data it is
(you can even get the clock from the data back (that's why you call it
sync).

About your other question about compression: Of course you compress
before XOR-ing onto the synchronous output stream. You still get the
same sync throughput but more data (because of the
compression). That's what the CPUs in the modems are for.

Kind regards
