Ok, I'm way out of my area of expertise on this one, and I'm
hoping someone out there can help me.  It seems that there
are issues regarding using the VT-MGR protocol over a WAN.  The
network guy here says...
 
"The issue is that the vt-mgr application which rides on tcp/ip)
uses a small packet and each one of the packets needs to be ack'ed.
This causes the vt-mgr session to be very slow. In the case where
your session spans just a LAN, you probably will not see any
performance problems. In the case where your session spans a WAN,
you will see problems. Other tcp/ip applications, like telnet and
ftp, utilize large packets and these packets do not need to be ack'ed
individually thus making efficient use of the WAN connections."
 
Is there a way to configure the HP3000 and/or the PC side to
increase the packet size used by VT-MGR?  Maybe there is something
else that I can try?
 
Any help that you can give would be greatly appreciated !!!
