It's the WiFi. WiFi is known for it's high latency and low speed, but most
people use it because of it's free cabling. I use my Newton with WiFi for
listening to my home mp3 stream, and it gets pretty lagged.
So, yeah, it is normal behavior for a WiFi net.
Responding to Adam Short's comment:
||Hi,
||
||I just joined the list and have a teeny tiny question already. I've set
||up my emate 300 with a wireless card in order to connect it to the
||internet via my linux box. This all works fine, but it's horribly slow
||at times. Using PT100 to telnet in to the linux box and then ping the
||emate, I get response times that vary between 10ms and 1s, averaging
||around 400ms. Is this normal behaviour, or is there a way to get things
||to run faster? I realise the emate is an old machine, but I had thought
||it would be capable of a reasonable connection speed when given access
||to a wireless lan and a 512k cable line. If I was wrong, fair enough, I
||still love the machine anyway, but I just thought I'd ask.
