- Telix may be a little faster than some of the other programs, but it
- is still far slower than it could be. I wouldn't call it "blindingly
- fast."
-
- On my old 8 MHz XT, Telix paints about 700 cps. RBcomm, by contrast,
- can do perhaps 1700 cps, including scrolling (it almost keeps up with
- 19.2kbps). I also have a VT100 emulator called PC/Intercomm with
- similar performance.
-
- I've written some terminal emulation code for PCs, and I'm generally
- uniformly disgusted by the quality and performance of code in typical
- PC telecomm packages.
