re: serial links

Yes they are slow, but people do use modems quite happily despite the
yucky latency still around on them. I read a superb article about
modems and on-line games describing the main problems and why
technology is sufficient to handle a lot more than we are actually
seeing (for a whole variety of reasons).

I probably have it somewhere here is anyone wants it.
