We just set up a bunch of OS/2 machines using the client's Windows
based terminal emulation program (Century's TinyTerm).  This program
was such a hog it made it nearly impossible to use any other program. 
We set MAXWAIT=3 to MAXWAIT=1 in the CONFIG.SYS and it made a
tremendous difference.  The machines were immediately usable with only
moderate slowness with TinyTerm running. 

We are now looking to evaluate OS/2 emulation programs rather than get
a site license for TinyTerm, but don't know a lot about them yet.  We
must have color, at minimum translating Wyse-60 or VT attributes to
colors, AT386 color support would be better (Esix Unix (ATT SVr3.2)).
