A the matter comes up again, I would like to add that SVN 1.2.3 seems to be 
faster than 1.1.4 for an analog modem and also that if you compile SVN 
yourself, you must be careful to use:
./configure --with-ssl --with-zlib
(The --with-zlib part seems to be important but I am not sure that it was 
described in the KDE documentation.)

Have a nice day!
