   I have been supporting my client from home 2 days a week for over 
   two years.  The commute is 1:40 in good weather.

   I'm running at 28.8 & 33.6 and it work just fine.  I often have
   2-3 session open at a time (one to each 400).  I do NOT do any
   printing over the link.  All runs on my 486-50 Think pad.
