The issue gets bigger as the connectivity gets worse. I think it's
a big issue, and I use a 9600 bps modem on a phone line which isn't too
terribly noisy most of the time. It sometimes takes me several tries,
sometimes of an hour or so per try, to upload a package to a net-connected
system. I'd _really_ like being able to upload just diffs to update a
previously uploaded package. The last I heard, Ian J. was using a 2400 bps
modem.

It looked good to me as well.
