cu on a 3b1 is SLOW

[Steve Green]

 I am a new unixpc user, but it seems that when I do a cu to another unix
 machine at 9600 baud (a Mac II) it moves like molasses. Curses games are
 as unplayable as on a 2400 baud modem but the mac says that we are indeed
 moving at 9600, I have eliminated all other windows and processes that
 can be delt away with. Could someone please tell me if this is normal or
 what I am doing wrong.  Please reply via mail.
 -thanks
