Thanks! :-) The fact that it works in high speed applications is a pleasant side effect of the fact that we tried REALLY HARD to make if low-ish overhead, but we really originally wrote it for T1 speed devices (and lower). The main design goal was to try make it easy for people to reconfigure it in ways we hadn't thought of and to make new modules to extend it. (also to avoid having a special control program for each new kind of node).
