I do use the midnight commander a lot to browse my filesystem, and this one
really is a little slow when run over ssh on this machine (486 66MHz, 24MB).
Of course when just using the command prompt I notice no serious delays.
For connections over the internet I will still be using ssh. But since my
home network is fully trusted I have no doubts about reinstalling telnetd for
this purpose again. I will mind my firewall rules and my wrappers.
Bye,
Leonard.
