RE: BMI speed update

	Speed is not what you think it is. cbt and cme send out data at 9600
baud as far as I know. Bandwidth on the other hand is the ability to process
more data at once. 1 bit at 56k will get you just as fast at 9600.  Also if
the data is "compressed" you need a faster PC with more ram not faster data
through put. BMI data is in a compressed format that is decompressed in the
server. Kind of like a 56k modem.  The point is if you want more data you
had better buy a bigger PC with lots of ram or have a very efficient sever.
