The NEWS file says 10Mbps, BTW.  Is the email more accurate, or the NEWS
file?

I've done some simple tests, and both normal and ",lzo" connections
appear to be work OK so far.  I'll keep you posted.

Also, I'd like to see the simple PATH patch applied that makes distccd
stop scanning the PATH if it finds a non-symlink "cc".  This is at least
an improvement to the current heuristic until a better solution is
implemented.
