I believe this is just a side effect of traffic management routines
that are very much optimized for typical CoCo speeds.  The driver on
the coco and the server work together in an attempt to keep the local
OS9 buffer full using as few operations on the wire as possible.  In
Vcc, things are very different both with overall emulated speed and
with how the local buffering works, so it just doesn't work that well.

that my Coco3 downloads my updates faster than overclocked Vcc with a direct TCP 
connection. Would this have something to do with the buffer over runs we 
discussed? Or is the Coco just that kool :-)
