Update to VersaTerm 3.2 and throw away Red Ryder (even the latest version,
10.3, can barely keep up at 2400 baud, let alone 9600).

I use VersaTerm 3.2 at 4800 baud WITHOUT flow control (yes, I use emacs) and
I've never overrun VersTerm's buffer, nor has screen updating been anything
other than instantaneous.  In short, it's a great terminal emulator.
