Ok, here's the problem:

I'm trying to find a modem/terminal program for my //e that can keep
up with a Trailblazer 2500 running V.32, V.42, V.42bis.  I'd be happy
with a program that can cope with 19.2k bps, though burst speed
occasionally exceeds this.  Decent VT100 emulation is desirable, but I
can live with VT52.

So far, I've had the most luck with Ascii Express Mousetalk, probably
because it uses polling rather than interrupts to talk to the serial
card (which is an Applied Engineering SerialPro; it acts like an
ordinary Super Serial card).

I have a 4mhz ZipChip -- the modem was useless without it.
Would an 8mhz ZipChip help, or is the bottleneck somewhere else?

Also, do there exist serial cards with hardware handshaking, and if
so, are there terminal programs that know how to use them?

Thanks for any suggestions,

Mitch
