Read a little about John Nagle's observations on network performance here: http://www.port80software.com/200ok/archive/2005/01/31/317.aspx That particular link hyperlinks to a Microsoft page that gives you a clue how to change your registery settings to alter the PC's settle time. Perhaps that will help you? (If not, RFC896 is Mr. Nagle's original RFC on the subject. Use 'RFC896' as a search argument in your TCPIP terminal emulator documentation to see if they offer help there.) -- Tom Schmidt Madison, WI
