Ah, I tried it on my lan, dosn't do shit. My lan is just simple
ethernet, full duplex. I was moving a large (100MB+) file
last night, and it averaged over 300Kbs per second; At the same time
I was connected through telnet, playing with pine, and never
noticed any sort of slow down.

So I would say not hard to do, but impossible to do, unless
the machine reciving it is a 386 without a fpu.

And this network is only a P60 and P133, not fast machine
to be sure; Of course the reciving machine(P60) is running setiathome,
and still not even a hint of network stress; It is a linux box though.
