Telnet and ssh send more or less one character per packets in both ways, each geting a full header, and hence move much more data than you actually realize (You don't see the character you type until the remote host echoes it). Also, for being very small packets you get full impact of latency which isn't that short with ADSL. So it's quite unlikely that your 486 is such responsible for that. Did you try it using a faster computer? Also, did you try moving a mail with a big attachment? You should notice that it comes quite a bit quicker.
