- my wish list (also a positive experience overall)

- g. NFS needs lots of improvement (not just speed!)
- -p does not work reliably for me
- can't use full 8192 buffer
- bad transfer rates even with largest buffer and
- a small network
- horrible transfer rates if certain DOS Apps are
- started on the server (eg TP 6.0 IDE)
- IT HAS BEEN STABLE FOR A QUITE A WHILE
- h. Ability to run DOS Apps in a telnet session
- tel_enh is too quarky in our setup
- i. Need the ability to download files when logging in
- from home. Our connection path is somewhat indirect,
- but the same path to a unix machine works just fine.
- j. I still have not found a terminal emulation that
- allowes me to run Epsilon 6.0 remotely. Well I almost
- have a combination that works, but the screen gets
- redrawn too many times. It's just too slow to use,
- although at least the screen is readable.
-
- Can anyone suggest an ansiterm that will work well with
- the telnet session?
-
- I could go on, but I'd be happy with the above.
