Larry-
I think if I patched ArgoTerm to read 4 bytes at a time from the serial port,
and print as many bytes to the console as were returned, then that should speed
it up enough to cope with 2400 baud ! ( I hope!?)
Main problem is that the OS Text routines prefer large chunks of bytes to
print, rather than doing them on an individual basis (setup time for blitter
etc… ALso problems with Italics and Kerning if characters are done
individually!)
