We also use the PSI product and have noticed the same thing for dialing up on 
the
same machine.  (USR 28.8 modems)

In our case it's always been some program running on the PC which is stealing
cycles.  When the problem occurs and we shut down the PC (NT) there is usually 
a DDE
task still running.

If the interactive session is really bogged down, it doesn't seem to affect the
screen refresh rate, just like a locally attached workstation, just the job run
time.  If the screens are painted quickly or slowly that's got to be a function 
of
the PC receiving and processing the data stream.

But just to play it safe, you may want to check out the device descriptions on 
each
machine to make sure they are the same.
