My firewall was until recently a 486SX-33 with 12MB RAM. OpenSSH worked
just fine - the initial connection took about a second, second and a
half, but after that there was no noticeable delay. I would on
occaision export a tail -f console display when I was online, providing
a live on-screen display of the firewall activity. Never noticed
anything slowing down.
IMHO it would be better to spring for a keyboard and monitor than use
telnet for your firewall box...
Cheers,
James
