Subject: Compression for LINE DRAWINGS?

I need some suggestions for compression of B/W line drawings for an on line
data base.  I don't care if the compression is slow, but I would like to 
do decompression on the fly and directly to the screen.  A slightly lossy
technique would be OK as the original images aren't all that good.  

With so much white space there has got to be something that will be fairly
compact!!

Thanks in advance for any help.
