I can't speak for Ron, but having done some side-by-side comparisons; the
terminal emulation doesn't seem notably slower/faster in either - especially
since the latest versions of R1 have slowed down considerably (especially when
you enable hot-spots in 6.0 of R1) but I can state that if you do alot of
downloading, R1 has MS92 beat badly... file transfers I've done over VT
sessions consistently show R1's file transfer at 4-6 *times* faster than MS92s
(using both products latest host programs).

While I'd recommend MS92 on a price/performance basis for terminal emulation,
if you have to do alot of file transfers, you NEED R1.
