	You're both right - it's a dessert topping,
	AND a floor wax!

	The contents of the S70-2 registers are a measure
	of raw data throughput only (max. 18000 bps).

	The actual end-to-end data throughput is approx.
	20% less due to packetizing overhead, etc.

	The net result for async throughput is around
	1440 bytes/sec maximum.
