[cobalt-developers] 64k lag

[Keith DeLong <keith@xxxxxxx>]

Hello!

We've connected a bunch of cubes to various speed telecom lines for internet
related services, they've all worked well with one exception.  On a 64k
digital line, we get big lags whenever larger quantities of information are
sent.  For instance something small like logging in is no problem, and using
"ls" to show a short directory is fine too.  However using "cat" to show a
large file, or imap to get an email message over 10k, or even browsing a
webpage through this connection yields a long lag between bits of
information.  Could loosing a packet make such a long lag (a minute or more)
on a slow connection?  or is there something else that could be wrong here?

Thanks!
