I have a Trailblazer also.  I use Versaterm to log into the UNIX
machine at work, and it works pretty well.  Versaterm is fast enough to
keep up with the Trailblazer.  Beware that the termcap entry that comes
with Versaterm interacts badly with the Trailblazer.  If you write me,
I will send you the one I use.

The Macintosh serial ports can't do hardware flow control.  You're stuck
with ^S/^Q.

Versaterm does this in its VT100 emulation mode.
