A protocol such as FAST just adds to what the user must know
about the hardware configuration on a machine.  A well-designed
protocol should be able to vary packet sizes according to the
type of connection (modem/hardwire, normal/leased line, etc.) so that the
user need not worry about which protocol is needed on a particular
line.
