Is IIS 6.0 with ASP.NET unable to do a HTTP compression?

Is IIS 6.0 with ASP.NET unable to do a HTTP compression?

I asked our supplier to implement a HTTP compression (gzip or deflate)
for the web pages generated using ASP.NET running on IIS (the server
reply says:
"Server: Microsoft-IIS/6.0
X-Powered-By: ASP.NET
X-AspNet-Version: 2.0.50727"). The supplier insists it is not possible
with ASP.NET. Is there any way to activate the HTTP compression on IIS
6.0 running ASP.NET?
