Howdy all,
So I've joined the minix community and hope I'll not regret it.
Can anyone explain why the kermit in the 1.5 distribution for
Atari ST is so ..s..l..o..w.. as to make it unusable as an online
terminal?
As I type the characters come back to me after around 2 seconds.
I am connected at 1200 baud full duplex and it behaves like 300 baud
half duplex. The only background job I have running is 'update'.
What's going on here?
It is possible to display files to the screen at full speed but the 
response time from sending AT to the modem is ridiculously slow.
