The solution is NOT to do single character QIO's.   See the CALLOUT
program on the Spring '84 DECUS tape.  I have never seen CALLOUT lose
a character at any baud rate up to 9600 on a 750 or 780.  I have never
seen it get stuck in a MWAIT either.  In fact, because of the way it
grabs characters off the line, it is far less of a burden to the system
at 9600 baud than it is at 1200 baud.  It spends less time in KERNEL
mode than any other remote terminal program I have gotten my hands on.
(although, at 1200 baud, it does load the system a bit).
