This is a common misconception.  In fact, "mrouted" tunnels work OK even
over a 28.8 kbps modem connection (provided that you use the most recent
version of "mrouted" (v2.9, I think), which retransmits prunes).

(Another form of tunneling you could try is UMTP (i.e., UDP-level)
tunneling (e.g., "multikit"<->"liveGate"), but if you're running Unix on
your client machine, you might as well 'do the right thing' and run
"mrouted" instead.)

	Ross.
