Environment: macintosh using mac241 or NCSA telnet or Brown connecting to
host HP9000/832 or HP9000/817.
Problem: One character per packet from (mac) not host via the
wide-area-network. With ten users on the system they take up
~60% of capacity of WAN.
Question: Is there anyway to configure either the drivers of tcp/ip
or the telnet software itself (mac side) to only send a packet
when a newline or tab character is input?
This would dramatically reduce the # of packets
and would fit the application nicely!
The application is made to run on any 'dumb' terminal.
Yes I've thought about client/server and distributed,
but this would be a quick invisible solution to a
system that is already in place.
Any and All replies are appreciated!!!
