[Info-vax] Nagle problem in remote DECterm on VAX, revisited

[smithfarm]

Hello Hans - problem is already solved, thanks to Uli. Here are my 
answers to your questions:

> Sending characters may be inefficient: wasn't that where LAT performed
> better than cterm/DECnet?

Yes, LAT is better even than the correctly functioning remote X over 
TCP/IP. However, what I was seeing was obviously such a huge delay that 
immediately you knew it was a bug.

Also, what I needed was a DECterm on a Linux/Windows box - so LAT was 
not an option.

See above.

> How much cpu load has the Xclient during these sessions while you're

Very low - only one user, and no applications running.

Home LAN (behind a NAT firewall) - the only other user is my wife, who 
sometimes ties up our 512 kbps Internet connection, but who otherwise 
doesn't use the LAN at all.

Thanks for taking the time to reply. Turns out it was a known bug in 
DECwindows v1.2-6. That also explains why the problematic behavior was 
not seen on the RX2600 with OpenVMS v8.4.
