[Linux-decnet-user] naive LAT question regarding speed

[Zube <Zu...@CS...>]

Thanks much for all the time and effort that went into the DECnet software.
It is much appreciated.
  
The LAT software has recently come in handy when our old DECstation finally
gave up.  A quick install of Debian on an older IBM Thinkpad, apt-get and
latcp -s and we had connectivity.  I was most impressed and very grateful.

Alas, the speed is several times slower than what we were seeing before.
There's nothing fancy going on, just a few dumb terminals hooked up to
a DECserver 200.  I've tried different network cards and 10baseT v. 
100baseT, but the slowness remains.  The Thinkpad is plenty fast (an 850mhz)
and is performing no other task.

Before I dive into it further, might anyone have any suggestions on what
I might be missing. 

Thanks very much for any help.

Cheers,
Zube
