- I wonder if this is in any way related to the extremely slow
- performance we get with Telnet. We run NCSA Telnet 2.4 and 2.5 on
- Mac-IIci's running 7.0.1 w/ MaTCP 1.1 or 1.1.1 on a relatively lightly
- loaded thin ether segment. Telnetting to an otherwise idle Ultrix box
- sitting right next to my Mac, I get performance (for big blocks of text,
- full screen updates in a 40-line window) that seems to me to be about on a
- par with a 9600 bps connection. Currently, I'm at home running kermit (also
- with a 40-line screen size) over a 19.2 V.32bis connection to a terminal
- server telnetting to that same Ultrix box through GOK how many bridges,
- repeaters, etc and getting performance which is about as good.
