LOL.  I guess if you want to web surf it doesn't seem like much.  But 
for email it is plenty.  I don't think I did better than 9600bps until 
~1994.
A lot of the personal email I get is encrypted, though, and from the 
little bit of reading I've done about the amateur regulations it sounds 
like this would be a forbidden use of the amateur spectrum.  
IP-over-Radio dramatically increases the likelihood that someone is 
sniffing your packets, though, and harvesting passwords and such.  If 
crypto is not an option, I don't know that IP-over-Radio is as 
attractive as it might sound on the surface.
