We've found DNET to deteriorate at speeds in excess of 9600 baud but only 
over the Amiga's own serial port. Of course, this is not attributable to
DNET as most applications will suffer when trying to do sustained high speed
receives over the Amiga serial port.

On our own serial ports we've enjoyed reliable DNET performance at 76800
baud so we can safely say there's nothing inherently limiting in DNET or
its protocols.

We've had experience only with the earlier versions of NET: and found
that these early versions had some problems of their own. We're looking
forward to picking up the newest version at DevCon. See you there.
