 If your machine is a slow one but you are running at a high connection
rate. eg ARM2 with 33.6k Modem then changing screen mode may have an effect.
If you have a RISC PC with VRAM then this will make no difference.
 Setting of the 'Next' slot is completely pointless AFAIK. As for Screen
mode and Modems running on interrupts, whats all this about? Interrupts are
not affected by choice of screen mode any more or less than any other code.
Programs running at the same time but just idling are also unlikely to
affect transfer rate.
