Sorry for posting this to comp.unix.wizards, but I was at a loss for a 
better newsgroup (not to mention I'm desparate).

We recently went from straight terminal connections into our main
machine to an Annex terminal server.  Things are awfully SLOW now.
I think one problem is that the Anex sends one packet per keystroke,
which is overrunning the poor little ethernet controller in the main
machine (a Vax 11/750 running 4.3BSD).

My question: is there a way to configure the Annex so that it will send
one packet per line?  Or is my initial assumption (1 pckt/char) incorrect?
Is there anything else I can do to speed this sucker up?
Please email any responses.

Thanks,
  David Brown
