- Perhaps you want to use a serial ISDN TA. Or you have a V.32bis/V.42bis
- modem, and you send a fair amount of uncompressed data. Or you're running
- a serial X terminal off of it to save getting a thin-net transceiver for
- your SS2. Or you're doing a lot of printing to a (non-SPARCprinter) laser
- printer, and you sometimes send BIIIIIIG bitmaps, and you'd like to get
- your printouts sometime during your lifetime.
