Hi,
well, I telnet (or more ssh, actually) via a phone line. You are right, I
do not get this slow behaviour when I am on the local network. It works
fast enough then. I have also not noticed any limits when
uploading/downloading (ok, it is limited to 512kbs, but I doubt the fact
that the computer is too slow to handle more).
Greetz,
Sebastiaan
