sawyl... and I was using kermit over a 14kbit modem. The experience was bad, but I didn't know any better. Fast forward to 2005 and I've been using ssh over TCP on a 56kbit modem. The experience was the pits - worse than the 14kbit modem - with endless line drop outs, 10 seconds of transmission lag and random two minute freezes.
I blame XP for running loads of stuff behind the scenes, doing lame stuff like updating my anti-virus software and stuff like that. I'm sure that sort of thing is find if you're just browsing the web, but if you're trying to run an interactive terminal session over the same line, it's a total nightmare.
