Is there anything I can do > to speed up a Mac+ with the Responder? We were plagued by this problem too, and I thought I had seen it on an SE as well, but now I am not absolutely positive about that. It was about one year ago, when we were using Responder 1.0. After discovering the cause, I had an exchange with InterCon (it also happened with TCP/Connect) and Apple about it, and I believe Apple fixed it. I have not tested it extensively, but it appears that Responder versions 1.0.1 and 1.1.1, which come with System software 6.0.3 and 6.0.4 respectively do not interfere with NCSA Telnet. We are now using the TCP version of NCSA Telnet 2.3 and that in itself may have solved the problem (I haven't checked it with the old Responder), but I know of at least on Mac Plus that ran Responder 1.0.1 and NCSA Telnet 2.2 without problems.
