Just a side note... make sure you crank up the transfer buffer size in
Fetch's preference, it's default is set to 8K for modem use.  Also turn off
all auto encoding and decoding features, this really slows down Fetch.
Generally, I've found Anarchie to be slightly faster in testing situations,
but Anarchie adds in the opening and closing connection times when
calculating throughput.
