Yup. I've done the same thing while switching from one ISP to another;
I've also used remote CVS to work on a repository where round trip
times for packets was > 1second and drop rates of 30%.
Neither situation is ideal, but remote CVS handles it just fine; just
takes longer than on a good network link :-) And as I've mentioned
before, you don't have to interact with the remote machine at all
which is a huge win if the network is flakey/slow.

Worse yet, he's a 14.4 into another engineer's house, and they
share the outgoing connection from the second engineer's house :-)
