While I am not sure what version you saw, but a variety of changes
have occured since the demo you saw....however you appear to be a
person that would not be satisfied no matter what was done, and if
you prefer to spend big $$ for your terminal program that does not
much more than RR does, thats your privelege. The problem with
commenting as you do about early beta versions is that things change,
and what will actually ship will not be like what you are talking
about...

Other problems are how to compare actual file transfer speed, there are
specific conditions under which file transfer speeds should be tested,
and your comparison is not a good one. There are also limits on how
fast transfers will go...RR11 will keep up with the best of them in
my opinion now...

nuff said I guess....we all have our own opinions...you will have to
decide for yourself as others will when the time comes.
