I wouldn't call it crippled when it's unregistered. Still entirely
useable. With a 28.8 modem, you get close to 80% throughput ... well
over 2000 bytes/second.

Unless I'm much mistaken, the registration provides you with
_additional_ features; like header compression which gives a bit
performance boost on small packets.

Meanwhile... I've still to register mine. :-)
