Well, they told me "patience is a virtue" and I'm finally putting that
to use when running Xmosaic with term via 14.4 Kbps USR Sportster modem.
It takes 1.5 - 2.0min for a 640x480 weather satellite photo to come up,
which ain't too bad considering what you're getting! If you have something
else to do (e.g. browse text in another Xmosaic window :-) so much the
better!
