I didn't really notice the spped problems after using a C-128 for a year :-)

What I never got used to was the packet sizes that the emulator talks in,
the 30 character bursts. My eventual solution was so simple that I kiked myself
for waiting so long. I snagged the kermit program, and then uploaded the s4
termcap to my VAX. The 3b1 makes a great terminal, and since we're running a
very new version of emacs (18.4x) on the vax, my arrow keys even work!
