I did `ls -R /' on console and after `telnet .' and the difference is definitely noticeable, I'd say this isn't a deficiency in the FreeBSD console terminal emulation ... the problem is more likely in the networking setup, but I'm not sure where. I naively tried increasing the MTU for lo0, but that didn't help `telnet .'. -- Sean Kelly NOAA Forecast Systems Laboratory, Boulder Colorado USA My grandfather invented Cliff's Notes.
