Hi folks,

I posted an item recently asking if any other newsgroup readers had
experienced sluggish performance when using Reflection to access the
POSIX shell under MPE iX. I haven't seen or received any replies, but
wanted to post a couple of more data points. We boosted memory in the
machine (917LX running 5.5) from 64M to 192M with no change in
performance (at least in regards to this problem). Despite memory
utilization running at 90%+ we didn't think more memory would make a
difference, and this was confirmed in practice. Since then I have done
some tests and notice that direct connections (serial) don't seem to
have the same problem dropping characters as network (both NS-VT and
Telnet) connections.

Has anyone else seen the shell dropping characters, type-ahead not
working, and/or sluggish performance using the POSIX shell thru
Reflection network connections? If so what was the solution? BTW, I have
talked to WRQ about this but they were not able to shed much light on
the problem.

Thanks for any and all feedback!

Lee C.
