I figure 19,200 would be lost. If you know of a better (but safe) way of doing
things, then let me know!

Z-Link doens't quite do all the right stuff when vttest is doing 132 col stuff.
You pretty much have to ignore what happens during 132 col tests. As for term
reports, cal you tell me what is sent to ask for a report and what the response
should be? I implemented it as described by my feeble spec sheet, but it isn't
correct as vttest says unrecognized sequence or some such.
