Right now, I'm using the VT100 client program from IBM's TCP/IP for OS/2
package, and it seems pretty slow to me.  (The VT100 program is a Telnet
client that emulates a VT100 terminal.)

The program, running on a PS/2 Model 55SX, doesn't even seem to be up to
a 4800bps terminal.  Surely, there must be some way to speed it up a bit.
(This is all running on a 16MBPS Token-Ring, by the way.)

I've changed the Communications Manager values as directed by the manual, and
I lowered the TIMESLICE values in the CONFIG.SYS file.  But, that doesn't
seem to help very much.

Any help that you all could offer on this matter would be very much appre-
ciated.
