    Fast!  And getting faster!!

That is not always true.  I had to use a modem connection twice this
weekend.  Even without dialup involved, international connections can
be slow.

    That's basically what my patch does.

To make that acceptable, we would need to do a lot more to inform
users of what to do when the connection is not so fast.

Ideally we would tell them to run stty, so that it will affect
all Emacs sessions during one login session.

The Linux console seems to say its speed is 38400 baud.  That is
rather misleading, since even a typical modem is faster than that.
