Our company uses X.25 extensively between terminals and hosts, the major
problem seems to be "lumpyness", as another put it.  The characters you
type, and the effect that they have, are seen as: one char, then another,
then a whole gob of them.  As to slowness, like any network, if you
overload it, its going to slow down.
