Hehe, we also had similar system in university. It was usually accessed over telnet, but in some places at the school, you could still find the real electron tube green (or orange?) text teletype terminal, where the student could sit and access just this system.
It was fast in normal times, but you'd still have trouble using it when the class registrations opened, and thousands of students tried to use it at the same time.

Often the way these things work, the old terminals go slow (sometimes very slow) but work, and the new way times out often making it impossible to make changes, but sometimes you still can, but won't know if they worked.
