I am also experiencing this problem on my 340 using 6.5 running remote X Clients
(e.g. hpterms on RS20 running an X Server).  I was told by the developer of the
PC X Server that it is typical for BSD based networking systems to timeout
for approx. 2 seconds before retransmitting after an error.  This is a REAL
pain in an interactive application.  Is there some technical reason why this
parameter is not tuneable? (I know you ca'n't tune a fish).
