I didn't write an rz/sz protocol that could work at 115200 or 230400 
bps.  My point was that if you can't get those old programs to work, 
move on to a new idea using the least number of chip signals as 
possible.  Hence, a software solution.

I've found it a much better experience to just mount remote .dsk 
images and have the files sitting right there in native DOS or OS-9 
format already good to run or copy.
