As you suggested, I ran some tests with nttcp.  (Thanks a lot for 
mentioning nttcp.)

(Wired: 85Mbit/s)
11b: 5Mbit/s
11b using OpenVPN with compression: 8.5Mbit/s
11b using OpenVPN without  compression: 3.5Mbit/s

BTW, under WinXP the VPN adapter claims that its connect speed is 10Mbit 
though a 11Mbit wireless network.  (I didn't check it under Linux.)  I 
wonder if the maximum speed would actually be limited to 10Mbit, even 
through a 54Mbit (20Mbit) network.

Anyway, it's good to know that, even through an OpenVPN tunnel, my 11b 
network hasn't become a bottle neck to the Internet...yet.
