I seem to see the slower response time on older windows 98 machines.  I
wonder if it is the compression overhead.  Maybe the default settings
are different between Linux and Windows 3.x clients.  I'm just glad the
Win98 clients work again.  For a while there was a problem with earlier
versions where some Win98 machines couldn't run NXClient.
