 I just installed TERM 1.07 and ***Damn!! This is great! But I have one or two
 questions (or more. We'll see as we go along):

 1) I tried runnin an X client (two, actually: ibuil and xcoral). Both came up
 fine but... sssllllllooooooooooooooowwww. I mean, when I click to get a menu,
 it can take up to 10 second for the menu to pop up and 15-20 more to execute
 my choice. This is with a 14.4K modem. I turned off compression and only
 escape 17 and 19. When I look at my modem, I see it do a lot more sending
 than receiving. Is this slowness normal or should be doing something else to
 beef things up?

I found that with my ZyXEL U-1496E, performance with term-1.07 is
improved if I turn v.42bis compression off. I use term-1.07 with
term's compression on. Give it a try.

Anybody out there also notice improved performance with v.42bis off?
