   fastimeout can't be involved with pings since they use ICMP, not TCP. 14.4K
modems usually have large delays due to buffering and compression delays. Some
are better than others. I used to see 170ms on certain Intel modes, and as low
as 110ms on certain 28.8K Hayes modems. Supra's are usually about the worst
at near 200ms.
