    According to the documentation, DesTerm 128 is fully capable of flawless
9,600 baud.   The author states that is was fully tested and successful using
a popular 9,600 baud modem, the name of which I can't remember.

    So, the answer to the question of how fast can it go is simply: Who knows?
There was a point when people thought that the 128 couldn't do more than 1,200.
THat has been proven wrong.   Supposedly, many west-coast BBSs won't even
validate a new user if he/she doesn't have a MINIMUM of 9,600, so that seems to
imply that the 128 can surpass 9,600!
