Client Access

I recently switched from using Client Access connected via twinax & Netsoft
router to Client Access using Ethernet and TCP/IP to connect to our
9404-200.  For the longest time I heard how much faster I would be able to
connect without having to use the dreaded Netsoft router.  With a twinax
connection, double-clicking on the desktop-created icon took about 1 minute
to get a signon screen.  (Using Client Access V3R1M3 with current service
pack).  When I switched to TCP/IP, I wiped client access completely from the
machine (Pentium 166MMX with 48MB RAM) and reinstalled and applied the
service pack.  I was a little disappointed to discover that it took roughly
the same amount of time to get a signon screen via TCP/IP and Ethernet(60
seconds).  But, I didn't think too much of it.  I've now tried a couple of
plain old Telnet clients, and I get to a sign on screen on THE SAME MACHINE,
within ONE SECOND.  WHAT GIVES HERE??? Is there THAT much overhead with
Client Access ?   Is there a configuration issue here I'm overlooking...
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated...
