I have noticed no difference in performance on any of my machines I run this
on. However, 50 lines now works 99% properly on my VGA monitors. THe CGA also
works without any noticeable speed decrease, high speed modem or not, and I run
all 286's.

As for "many, many ramifications", what are these? I am interested on hearing
about this from your point of view. Email me if you wish. I am sure you have
done you've homework on this.
