_This_ I would like to see on ANY computer!  

Most computers won't output to a screen at 19.2K baud, let alone 9600.
Most terminals won't either.  Maybe the closest to this that I've seen is
an 80386 machine running XENIX.

If there is a term program for the Amiga that can do this, I'd sure be
interested in getting it myself.  Let's hear it!
