When you consider that at 19.2Kb there is only 50us available to handle each
output character, including interrupt response time, and that the Unibus
interrupt handling on the VAX leaves something to be desired, it is not too
surprising that 19.2Kb seems as slow as 9600baud.  A better scheme is to
offload the terminal i/o to a front end such as a KMC11.  We're about to
try this on a System III VAX and expect it to work decently.
