I have used MEX at 9600 baud quite successfully on my kaypro II. It
works just fine; it never retransmits a block so I knowcharacters are
not being missed. The machine on the other end is also a CP/M machine
running MEX. I may have a small advantage though; I have installed the
modification to run the Kaypro at 5 MHz. rather than the stock 2.5
MHz. I may also have an advantage in having a hard disk on the Kaypro,
but with the hand-shaking I don't think that should have any effect.
Both MEX and the Kaypro overlay are on Simtel-20.
