it is not, TTBOMK, a SIO problem... it is simply something that has been around 
for a long time and doesn't rear its head until one takes a really good look at 
it...

think about it this way... TCP/IP stuffs are packet based... 1540 bytes 
(IIRC)... whereas PSTN/POTS/DIALUP stuff is on a dedicated circut that is not 
shared by anything... what you have is a shared 1540 byte packet circut 
compared to a whatever byte dedicated circut...

see the picture now? ;)
