	I am running the latest version (?) of soss, the one with
	1024 byte packets.  I run it on a 33 mhz 386 under a DesQview
	window with various other things going on in other windows.
	a 400k file takes 5 seconds to copy using cp from
	the pc to my 386 UNIX system.
	Is a little slow, but faster than a floppy!
