The 'g' protocol control packets which carry the ACK are 6 bytes long
while full data packets are 70 bytes long which is just under 12:1.
The real issue though is not the speed of the back channel as the ACK
will cause the modem to attempt to reverse direction, hence the question
really is
	1.  How long does it take to turn the channel around?
	2.  Will the delay, combined with the time it takes my system
	    to process the data cause problems with the protocol?
