I have tried Harry Chesley's stack (I think it is him) for term emulation
and it is deathly slow...yes, he wrote out all the XCMDs and XFCNs so 
I guess that you can use them for Serial I/O.

If you read the Macintosh Today article, some dudes at Apple have already
written a HyperCard front end for a mainframe, but I doubt you will see
anything from them for at least half a year...
