Ah... heheh - cleary: because I'm using drawterm and drawterm
doesn't do IL? (sorry if that's a lame question)

I'd like to try IL next, just so I have some direct personal experience
with it vs. TCP.

Wow - o.k., I just went and switched my laptop off the wireless,
and connected via ethernet... and damn - huge difference: drawterm

I'll now try different channels on my wifi router, see if that makes a
