I've had no trouble running AmigaTerm (not out yet, will be sold with the
1680 modem from C-A) or StarTerm 3.0 (PD by Jim Nangano on CIS) at 9600
baud with the VAX system here.  AmigaTerm even did the VT100 emulation
properly.  One thing to consider is to cut down on the number of bit planes
in your screen -- a screen with 1 bit plane will ideally run twice as fast
as a screen with two.  Though StarTerm 3.0, apparently the faster of the
two (though I've never run above 9600 Baud) uses the normal Workbench
colors, 2 bit-planes.
