THIS has got to be the most silly problem with RR!! It makes no sense
that shareware programmes should be THIS good with RR (the KING of
comms progs) bogging down at 65cps at 2400bps under MF while Zterm.8
can do 220cps at the same BAUD rate.

I use RR for terminal emulation (still not what it should be) and
Zterm for dowloads (Zterm will do 1400cps at 19.2K with no trouble at
all...)

Watson better be doing SOMETHING with my $90!!!!!
