I did the same thing, and I have been using my modified version of
VT52B.ACT at 2400 baud for several years.  There is no flow control,
but the R: handler that comes with the P:R: Connection has a 128-byte
buffer that helps.  I have only recently discovered that the program
has trouble keeping up if lots of short lines are printed rapidly, but
I'm sure that the scrolling speed could be improved if it were really
necessary.
