I also have an '83 series Kaypro 4.  It seems to cope just fine with
terminal emulation using MEX at up to 4800 baud, if my memory serves
me right.  Now that I think about it, though, that may be because I doubled
the clock speed using the Micro Cornucopia hardware mod some years ago,
so it runs at 5 Mhz.  Many old Kaypros have had this or a similar mod done,
but if yours hasn't that could be one solution to the problem.  You could
also try getting an interrupt-driven terminal emulator.  There is at least
one on SIMTEL20, in the PD1:<CPM.KAYPRO> (might be wrong about it being PD1,
could be PD2?) directory.  Micro Cornucopia used to sell one on one of their
disks, but since they seem to have gone out of business, I guess that is no
longer a viable source.
