I happened to get a peek at a very early beta version of 10.0 and was hoping
to see it giving faster throughput rate when hooked up to a 9600 baud line.
It didn't.  Mr. Watson was boasting around version 9.2 how he was going to
really speed up the throughput to the screen.

Now I'm a registered user of RR, but it just doesn't cut it against VersaTerm,
which I just bought, as far as speed to the screen goes.  VersaTerm also can be
set to 19.2 Kbaud which is really nice for the xmodems and kermits I do a lot
of.

Question to those of you who have been testing RR 10.0:  Is is faster?  Even
as fast as MacTerminal?  Or is it still being designed primarily for the 1200
baud modem market?
