Just remember that as the link speed decreases the IP (and presumably)
TCP headers take up a greater percentage of the available bandwidth.
Leaving less room for real data.  (At a link speed of about 500 baud
you have just enough bandwidth to send TCP IP headers and do HDLC
bitstuffing - sorry no room for data)
