As a follow up to my own posting: some of the mail I have received has
indicated that the slow speed of cu is inherent in its design.  Cu was designed
primarily for connections over phone lines at 1200 baud.  It buffers all text
in the program.  Hence, the execution speed of the program will effect the
usable baud rate.  Over a phone line, the bottle neck is the 1200 baud modem.
But on a 9600 baud serial port the bottle neck becomes cu's execution speed.
The terminal emulator doesn't use cu and is not affected by this.

Whether anything can be done about cu I haven't found out yet.  Perhaps there
is some way to modify the buffer to speed up operation. Any ideas?
