Good point. I've got to think about this. It would change the entire
character of motion. It really does seem essential for any sort of
coordinate cased system. I suspect that all motion will actually
become, "move towards", "stop", "turn towards", or "turn away from
right/left" in form.

Yeah, that's what I'm in the middle of investigating (the new modem
should be in next week). I just found a local provider that will do
dedicated v.34 for $65/month. ISDN is proving more tricky as I've yet
to find an ISP not in Texas who will do Centrex 2B ISDN for less than
a small fortune (tho I may finally be on the trail).
