Just to get all of these out of the way:
* You were thinking about RFC 2549 - IP over Avian Carrier w/QoS, and its cousins RFC 1149 (the original) and RFC 6214 (IPoAC for IPv6).
* The quote you were about to look up was "Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of magnetic tapes hurtling down the highway." It was Andrew Tanenbaum, famed creator of electoral-vote.com and also some other stuff.
