This is true.  Most telecommunication is done with a person on one side, and 
how many people type faster than 300 baud?  Except for uploads, you should be
able to do 19200 remote to local, and about 300 local to remote.  Reverse this
for file uploads, and this would be almost ideal conditions for modeming.
