(You've reported about 2700 cps, which is about all you can get out of a 14.4 link with regular text). You could also increase the modem receive-buffer size and the terminal read-buffer size to make things slightly more efficient (though chunkier). :-) >doesn't implement it I'll keep using Desterm.

What, specifically, would it take to make ACEterm better and more practical to use than Desterm? >Between Desterm and ACEterm there are not many differences, but ACEterm >needs a terminal id.

Someone has finally mentioned a specific problem that I can easily correct (ESC Z ===> ESC [ ? 1 ; 2 c).
