    3) For interactive (i.e. human) use its not too great. The character
            delay inherent with telenet/tymnet/etc is quite apparent and
            annoying if you are a decent typist. For browsing a
            b-board its probably ok. For using a screen editor is sucks.

  This is ironic.  I consider its short interactive delay a major point
in its favor, especially while using a screen editor.  Before using it
I went over MILnet/ARPAnet from here (DC area) to Boston, and the
improvement since those bad old days is phenomenal.  I guess it's all
what you are used to.
