Seriously, what use is this? The only speeds at which this could work resonably
well is 300/1200 baud. Look at Flash etc. these programs are going flat out
from about 4800 baud upward to get an acceptable transfer rate, at  300/1200
baud you are probably using a telephone and paying for it--> so you don't
want to have to retransmit a packet just because you just started loading a
large file from disk or something else which takes over the machine.

PS if you want to have this CIS B protocol in UniTerm, what about sending me
   a protocol description.....I might build it in to UniTerm.
