I have had similar problems using a friend's '2 on a VAX under VMS.  I
could do like 3600 if I turned up the NULLS, but the problem then was
his monitor displayed them as /@@@@/ for however many I turned on, which
loses.

Are you familar with Micro Cornucopia magazine ?  Amongst their
public doman collections for the Kaypro is a terminal program that does
the Right Thing for Kaypros (whatever that is) so I could run 9600 no
problem without nulls.  The Micro-8 monitor ROM upgrade (?!) from the 
same folks also took care of the null-echo problem.

If you don't have an address I can go find it and post it.
