newbie: rh6.2 telnet performance...

[Jerry Cashman]

Hi Linux Gods.

I'm very new to this linux thing, and am trying to learn meself some RedHat.
(yee haaa)

I've an old 486/66 (24Mb, 800Mb) which I've got RH 6.2 (server) installed
on... it's got a valid (private) IP address and a hostname...

The network is pretty damn simple... a straight (twisted) cable connects the
linux box and laptop! No hubs, routers, etc etc etc...
