   I'm glad to hear it since those are what we have.  Nevertheless, the pauses
   in PC-NFS telnet are still there, prominently.  5 seconds is certainly not
   uncommon.  On one or two occassions, the pause got so long it was
   essentially a hang, and I lost the connection.  As I recall, I had to
   reboot the PC -- these network hangs are often unbreakable.
