And I thought I was the most stubborn person on this list. How long are
you going to blame BITNET for (1) the fact that a 9.6k line is slower
than a 56k line (or whatever it is you are using) and (2) the fact that
your connection to BITNET is through inferior software that emulates only
the most basic subset of the protocol?
