You could probably write a replacement for SocketModule in my
StreamModule framework (http://www.omnifarious.org/StrMod/) that could
simulate some of the latency characteristics of a network connection.

If you wrote the code to use StreamModule, you could then put in real
SocketModules instead and it would work over a real network with no
other changes.

Have fun (if at all possible),
