	TB's perform excellent on lines thruout Europe; They hardly
	set up a link across the ocean..
Not entirely true: that's the case if both sides have
the 4.0 software revision level; if either side (or
both) have the 3.0 level it works just fine. Of course
it suffers from the normal 3.0 drawback: very slow for
interactive use; but it's fast in batch mode (like uucp).
Supposedly Telebit has come up with a newer 4.x version
that should have solved the problems of transatlantic
links, while maintaining good interactive speed, but
sofar I haven't seen any sign of that new release.
