send data at *just* 27 kilobits per second

It's not that long since I would have been delighted if my USRobotics modem would be running at that speed from my house to the local ISP.

To be doing that from Saturn, with kit that has been up there for so long, is still a remarkable achievement.

All involved deserve a well earned beer!
