I used a similar system once (ie, AppleTalk through modems).  I was amused by
the fact that, at 2400 baud, MacWrite (4.5) took thirteen MINUTES to start.
The timing was done on my trusty Timex and counted from the double-click to
when I could start typing.  I was using TOPS and I kept having to tell TOPS
that, yes, the other end was still there...

Depending on the distances involved, I think even sneakernet is faster...:^)
