With regard to throughput of terminals and terminal emulators, I thought
I should put in a plug for the combination of MS-Kermit V2.29B and a
Compaq 386.  This combination seems to handle sustained 19200 without so
much as squeaking a single XOFF.  This is with typical emacs editing tasks;
I've never tried sending it 1000 line feeds in a row ... I suspect that
might break it ... heh heh.

We've had no problems running a Zenith-19 at 9600 baud; no problems with
MS-Kermit and a bottom-level PC (4.77 MHz 8088) running at 9600 baud.
I suspect we've just been lucky...
