So just for fun I did some speed experiments with CTERM and LAT using Kermit to send the same file. WAN connection is KUHAVX (Finland) to RHESUS (UK). CTERM LAN: 30,000 CPS WAN: 16,400 CPS LAT: LAN: 100,000 CPS WAN: 30,000 CPS So LAT is as fast over a WAN link as CTERM is over a LAN..What's wrong with CTERM? sampsa
