tty input and output at different speeds?

I once tested split speeds under 4.2BSD a long long time ago. It seems
to me that it was relatively easy. I wrote a little progroam that used
ioctl to set two different speeds once I had logged in. I believe the
4.2 terminal control structure had capabilities for separate input and
output speeds. I am not sure this is true in SYS V. Then I changed the
speeds on the terminal. You need two things to do this; a multiplexor
on your computer that can handle split speeds, and a terminal that can
handle split speeds. Of course to do it nicely at least getty would
have to be hacked.
