If you use the CTERM protocol, it will be always slow and sluggish, no matter
how much you'll try to tweak it. Try SET HOST /APP=R and appreciate speed :)


It's MUCH more usable when using RTERM.   Thank you.

Why is CTERM so slow on TOPS-10?

Credentials are guest and the password is guest.   Still need to install some
stuff for language support.

If you like it more, there is a way to have a user with no password (and/or
with the ability to actually change password disabled). Just play with REACT
and look for the right incantation, because I do not remember it anymore...


It's related to requirements I believe.
