I've streamed video data to a Sinclair Spectrum over gopher before this 
way, that was from a file rather than a live capture because it was 
processed into a suitable format for the Spectrum to display but "just 
read bytes forever from a binary selector" based streaming works 
perfectly on a LAN. I assume you'd want some buffering when traversing 
the WAN though :)
