Using either telnet or rlogin from FreeBSD 2.2-current to BSD/OS 2.0
results in extremely bursty I/O, with lags in typing echo of up to 10
seconds over a completely unused line:

	FreeBSD -> [ISP] -> BSD/OS

It's like some kind of protocol compatibility problem, and it never gets
better.

If an intermediate system is used, e.g.:

	FreeBSD -> [ISP] -> SCO Unix -> BSD/OS

performance is excellent.  Take the intermediate site out and it's
back to sluggish response.

The FreeBSD machine is running on a 28.8 V.FC modem with PPP.  The ISP
system is series of terminal servers connecting to the main network
machines with T1s.
