I've never had any trouble with SSHing into a 40mhz Sparc 10.  Heck, most of
the time it was more responsive than the dual P3 machine that replaced it.  I 
suspect that this might be a configuration problem on the P3, since as much
as we might dislike Intel, there is no reason to expect a 40mhz SS10 to out
perform such a newer machine.
