We're using a Kermit program (version 5.2, I think) for the TRS-80 4/4ps
at work. It came with a filter that allows it to emulate an 'h19' quite
effectively (haven't had any problems with the full-screen games, ELM
or vi/emacs features of this UNIX system). We've ran it at 9600+
but it has a tendency to lose characters at these speeds (could be noise
in our wire, too). Anyway, 4800 is fast enough for most applications.

It has a KERMIT/INI file that allows automatic dial-out, login, etc.
which is a nice feature. It is missing metakeys but we found that the
Key-stroke multiplier feature of LS-DOS fills-in just fine in this area.
