That is interesting, we have found with 486 PCs that NS/VT outperforms
a DTC  everytime for DOS based terminal emulators like Advancelink
or ms92. We have been moving to WFWG 3.11 and win92 (using Microsoft's
tcp-ip-32), we still get good performance, but it isn't nearly as
fast as it was using Dos, with windows is it more like the DTCs.
 
We have DTC/48 and one lanic all on the same network (until
just last week when we broke up the network into separate nets with
bridging - the performance info comes from before the breakup - it
is too soon to know how the separate nets compare).
 
Has anyone tried 38.4 on the new DTCs?
