Hello,

I'm afraid that that message was extremely confusing.  I meant to say the Tel-
net *client*, not the Telnet daemon.

The Telnet daemon is very fast, once it starts up.  However, IBM's VT100 Telnet
client (IBM seperated the Telnet client into three programs, depending on what
terminal emulation you want) is *extremely* slow, giving a performance that is
barely better than 2400 baud.  This is a very subjective evaluation, not backed
up at all with any objective measuremeants, but the 9600baud modem connection
next to my OS/2 machine (a 386/25 with 14megs) certainly appears to run faster.

I'm very sorry for confusing you about the daemon versus the client.  No, IBM's
TelnetD actually works pretty nicely, much better than I thought it would.

Thanks for responding,

-Dennis
