That's the easy one... standard Kermit does this very well. People
claim to go 38.4 without flow control, I can only speak to 19.2, but I
haven't had any problems on a "real" PC (4.77MHz).

At this point you may want to consider either a terminal designed for
the job or one of those neat optical fiber links which allow you to have
a DOS and Xenix session running via hotkey.

Kermit.

| e) The ability to map \ to shift for those good feeling, but
No idea.
