Here the problem:  I'm trying to telnet from my laptop (FreeBSD-2.2.2)
to my home machine (FreeBSD-2.2.2).  The route through the network is
this:  laptop (10BaseT) -> router (Cisco 7513 100BT) -> Netserver (USR
Terminal Server) -> Pipeline 50 (ISDN 2B) -> Home Machine (10BaseT). 

Now the weird stuff.. actually it's not.. If I telnet directly to
my home box, the status of the telnet (ie: telnet> status) shows
that it's in LINEMODE and Local Flow Control.  If I type junk keys as
fast as I can, the telnet shows them about 3-4sec's later.. This is
very upsetting.. Basically it is, type a few chars, wait, type a few,
wait, etc..

Now, if I telnet to a Ultra Sparc running Solaris 2.5 on the same
network as the laptop, then telnet over to my home machine it is
speedy.. I can type as fast as I want.. The network path is the same
as before only it is laptop (10BT) -> Sun (100BT) -> Router -> etc..

I've noticed that when I telnet to the Sun, the status is now:
character mode, and local flow control doesn't show up.  I'm suspecting
this is were the problem is.  I'm not suggesting a bug. Is there a 
setting I'm missing, like a configuration setting? Termcaps perphaps?

I've tried to manually set the mode to character when telneting directly
to my home machine, and it doesn't seem to help.. 

By the way, this happens even to FreeBSD->FreeBSD boxes on the
same segment of the network.  10BT and 100BT.

Any ideas, suggestions or comments would be helpful.

Thanks in advance,
Christopher

P.S. I got X working, just removed the PSM_CHECKSYNC from the kernel.
