  While randomly scanning through comp.sys.mac a couple of months ago I
ran across a series of articles regarding terminal emulation programs and
screen update speed.  It appeared that quite a few update the screen very
slowly making their use with some of the high speed modems available now
a real bottleneck.

  One of the articles mentioned that part of the problem was that many of
the terminal emulation programs was that they were painting the screen
one character at a time instead of waiting till a larger chunk of text
was available to paint.

  After a lot of back and forth comments about the subject, the person
who'd originally posted the question regarding terminal emulator
performance, posted a summary saying s/he had found a very nice, fast,
etc. terminal emulator.

  I diligently forwarded all those articles to a Mac user friend of mine
(I'm not a Mac user myself), but he managed to destroy his mail box and
lost all the notes.  Does anyone have any of the notes I mentioned
above?  Specifically the summary?  Please email me responses.  If I get
enough me toos, I'll just bounce the articles back onto comp.sys.mac.
Thanks for your help and time.
