Unfortunately, I'm comparing the emulator running on 10-base-T to a twinax
terminal, and they are both too fast for me to notice.  I'll have to try
it out over a dial up when we get our own AS/400 in here.

I guess we'll consider this fixed unless something else was broken.  We
can treat the X SYSTEM discrepency as a seperate bug.

Hmmm.  It seemed to make a difference to me, but maybe something went
wrong.  I was just using the temporary program option for DFU.  I'll look
at it today.
