I have a PC at work, and I now use SmarTerm as a terminal emulator
to access our UNIX system.  Since I use Procomm at home, I thought
I'd try it here.

Both are set to 9600 baud and VT100 emulation, but SmarTerm seems 
so much faster than Procomm when files are displayed on the screen.  
For example, when I read the news with SmarTerm, "zip" and the file 
is displayed.  With Procomm, it is noticeably slower, like maybe
two thirds the speed.

I also tried Telix, since I've heard good things about it, but it
was about the speed of Procomm.

Is there some setting I need to adjust to make Procomm faster?
Is it just due to inherent differences between software packages?

Thanks for the advice.
