Sorry if I wasn't clear ... the 75% exclusion applies to a
character-mode interface, such as telnet to a Unix server. An HTTP
interface works OK with larger latencies because data are transmitted
in blocks (many bytes per packet) even upstream, unlike character-mode
telnet which transmits upstream as one byte per packet.
