This reminds of some questions I had regarding ssh.

1. Does ssh have much overhead (vs. telnet)?  What about scp?

2. What sort of things were you doing with MindTerm that you would notice
it being slow?  I've mostly used ssh for opening remote terminals, but
haven't noticed that MindTerm is slower than OpenSSH.

3. Is there a nifty gui for scp like gnome ftp (gftp) is for ftp?  Or 
is there some way to get gftp to work through ssh?

Thanks,
Glenn
