Which goes to show that a C=64, with its crumby serial port, is faster than many commercial servers running Windows or Unix. I can only imagine what a real computer, such as an Apple II, could do. ;)
Well... not quite, they added a Swiftlink cartridge, which gives the C64 38400 bps through a real 6551 serial chip like there is on the Apple Super Serial. The standardserial port is handled entirely in software and therefore limited to about 1200 bps.
