Hi,

I use natd and a 56k phone connection to my ISP so that all my
computers can share one line.

This all works fine, but I experience very noticeable jumpiness when
typing over a telnet connection to a remote system.  Delays of 7-10
seconds between typing characters and them appearing on my screen are
not uncommon.  If I rebuild my kernel without IPFIREWALL and IPDIVERT,
and disable natd and the firewall code, these delays go away so I am
assuming that it is natd/firewall/divert that is responsible for this
delay.

Is there a parameter or anything that I can tune to eliminate or
reduce this affect?  I looked in the lists and did not see anything
specific to my situation (but admittedly, I skimmed pretty quickly, so
I could have missed something).

I am running FreeBSD -current as of 11/21 (a little over a week ago)
and my firewall is set up as "open".

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks,
-Brian
