What is the fastest link lapb is actually used on these days?
64k used to be 'fast' - so copying the skb isn't going to have
a noticeable effect on system performance.
We did once get a 'free' upgrade of our X.25 link from 2400 to 9600.
Probably due to the power consumption and rack space needed for
the older modem.
