Hi Jason,
As I understand it, Larry's question has nothing to do with TELNET so to
speak.
He is only using it, instead of sh TELNET, because of a speakup issue
that no one has addressed.
This equally has nothing to do with shellworld. I use ssh TELNET many
times a day to come here, am doing so right now to write this email.
However I am doing this in pure dos, have no delays, and am not, like Larry
using speakup.
In an effort to try and get him a more direct answer, is his lag issue
due to speakup or something else?

Ok, I login to Shellworld from a Debian system with a 12MB AT&T Uverse

as for some reason, with Speakup, there is some sluggishness while cursoring.
But now even telnet has this behavior, while logging in another Linux machine
which has much better network conductivity, I have an easier time. editing
without any lag. On Shellworld I can hit backspace a number of times and the
beeping is spiraticly sluggish.
So, first I wonder if there are either other telnet options I can try, or would
their be another protocol which may react faster?
Almost everybody has moved away from telnet for security reasons. Basically,
if you're using telnet, everything you type, including passwords, is sent over
the network as plain text that crackers can intercept. So my advice is that
you shouldn't use it.
Regarding your network problem, try pinging the remote hosts that you're
connecting to. The network latency could be your problem, in which case
there's very little you can do about it unless it's an issue with your
internet service provider's network. Some providers are better than others in
this area. Mine, for example, maintains a very reliable network with good
latency because their customers use a lot of VoIP, which is highly sensitive
to timing issues.
