I don't notice it (much!) at 2400, but with 9600 or 19200 direct lines to my VAX you really notice the loss of speed. This is on a MacPlus running 6.01 non-multifinder, and the last pre-6.01 system, also non-multifinder. As a test, I stripped out all inits/CDEVs and anything else I wasn't sure of to see if something else was slowing it down. Nope, it's just slow. My solution: use Kermit. Kermit is much faster, a good vt100 emulation (at least in my experience), although it doesn't have the frills. The biggest two things I miss from RR in kermit are scrolling up to text that has scrolled off the top of the screen, and copying and pasting from the screen. I use RR when i need those features or scripting. Paul Meyer Microsystems Technology Lab MIT
