Moving to TCP in 2.0 will h e lp this a lot, since TCP has its own "flow control" mechani sm. As Guy says, we'll know more once this is ready. Everyone in development understands the marketing difficulty in explaining that we use 2400 baud modems, and we'll do our best to increase the number at least on paper (if not in reality). Understand though that modem upload is dominated by set up and break down time -- increasing the baud rate will not improve anything technically for normal sized vote centers.
