# 6. The <`˜/.term/termrc.telnet` Init File

I have checked line clarity using linecheck over this medium. I expected it to be completely transparent, but it is not. However, the only bad character seems to be 255. The `˜/.term/termrc.telnet` I use (the `.telnet` is the name of the term connection, see above) contains:

    baudrate off
    escape 255
    ignore 255
    timeout 600

Perhaps it could be improved by diddling, I am getting a throughput of only about 30k cps over a long-haul connection through a slow firewall. Ftp can move about 100k cps over the same route. A realistic baudrate might avoid some timeouts.
