Yes, that problem can be annoying. No it is not 928 dependent.

I was suffering from the same better-type-sloowly-syndrome on our local
3000/959-200 which was not CPU loaded but lives on our high-poorformance
LAN ;-)

I vaguely recall that I finally got rid of it by turning off the KornShell
command line editing/history (Esc + - and alike) stuff with "set +o vi" in
my .profile or alike. This basically changes from character mode typing to
line mode typing. The 3000 CPU only gets involved line-by-line and that
should help a lot if either CPU or LAN are busy.

Users of Telnet connections might not see any benefit from the above trick
as Telnet (unlike NS/VT or DTC) seems to default/prefer char-by-char traffic.

No longer having the KornShell line editing and history (hey, I do not have
it at the CI prompt, too...) I learned to use cut & paste (on PC or UX work-
station) as well as the shell commands history and r(edo).

My DM 0,02 on this ;-)

Lars.
