Ok, I guess what I'm hearing is that it is the z50.
I dont have ssh1 enabled on my server nor is it enabled on any of the
linux boxes I use for security reasons.

I guess I'll either have to suffer or find a box to connect through that
has ssh1. During the school year I use my desktop because that machine is
heavily firewalled. Since I am off campus I have been connecting to my
mail server mostly, which I try to keep secure.

Anyway thanks again for the help. Anyone care to guess why it is so slow?
is it the lack of floating point in the cpu?
