Put the PC where the 70092 is, and connect it serially using the same
cable (OK, you can use a 9/25 if you need one), and the same baud rate.

Now how does Reflection compare, speedwise?

This will tell you whether to suspect your PC(s) and/or Reflection, or
your network connection/protocol/whatever.

My guess is it will be one of the latter.

Try different methods of LAN connection - is NS/VT fast, but Telnet
slow, say?

Analyse the LAN traffic - is it excessive? Can you Ping the HP3000, and
is it a good ping time?

Throw it back at the network gurus - unless you *are* the local network
guru there, or course. Lotsa luck!
