Hi Stephen,

This looks extremely useful.

I have a need for a simulator for the Iridium Satellite phone network, 
this is at most 2,400 baud with perhaps 1 sec or more latency.  Do you 
expect this scheduler to be able to do this slow?

On a related note, for better accuracy I currently need a bit of 
stochastic variability on the latency, ie assume a 1 sec min delay, but 
also to vary that a little through time.  Have you considered adding 
that as a feature?

Thanks
