You neglect the fact that sending to a printer is a one-sided operation - 
a 64 can RECEIVE fine and a 64 can TRANSMIT fine at 9600 but has some trouble
doing both at once.

On the 128, I believe DESTERM and I *know* CS-DOS's terminal do 9600 
beautifully.  I believe CS-DOS just went Shareware, too.

Oh, and CS-DOS does an impeccable ANSI emulation, at least compared to some
IBM's.  :-)
