I have a desk accessory for my Mac which keeps up to 19.2 kbps 
without using any flow control.

Reasonable vt100 compatibility too. Enough to run vi.

Problem is most small unix boxen don't quite cut the mustard. 
They don't really send out a full 19.2 kbps data stream, even with cat foo.

To test my DA I built a special test program and ran it on a second Mac.
Then measured actual flow to ensure we where getting full 19.2 kbps data
stream.
