SubjectRe: Linux-1.3.85 - ppp slowdowns gone (?)

It didn't do much for interactive performance (ie, telnet) and slip connections.
Side by side, there is obvious difference typing 10 characters to a Solaris
host vs a SunOS 4.1 host. Just typing a pattern like lslslslslslsl as fast as
you can and with Solaris the terminal blocks after the first two characters.
In SunOS you hardly feel any delay between the time you type the characters
and the echo appears on the screen.
