Hmm the only large ANSI I have is the logo screen during logon.  But even
that feels like it takes a couple of weeks to load at this nominal "38.4"
speed.  Stuff like "The Reader" light bar driven message reader is also
pretty woeful.  Still horses for courses... and I'm somewhat spoiled by
having much faster terminals in this day and age. Most menus aren't bad, but
I've gotten to used to pages zipping up almost instantaneously.
