Date: Tue, 19 Feb 91 22:19:00 -0500 From: John T Kohl <jtkohl@MIT.EDU> To: bugs@MIT.EDU In-Reply-To: [7145] I suspect the '2' comes from /etc/termcap; it is supposed to be interpreted as a delay multiplier so that the sender doesn't outrun the terminal. See termcap(5); search for "delay" and you'll find the relevant paragraph. John
