I have had very limited experience with RR 10.3 (used a friend's copy for a
bit to see if I wanted to buy it or not).  It was very slow and even got 
behind at 2400 baud.  I think that he should spend less of his processing 
time worrying about what the user is doing, and get on with processing the 
throughput.  For instance, it is a nice thing that you can us DA's during 
downloads, but you will be slowing the download considerably!  

I have been told by many sources that Versaterm is the answer for high-speed
telecommunications.  It does get a little behind at 9600 baud, but they say
it is tolerable.

I suppose I should use the standard disclaimer here as I did slam a product,
so:

These opinions are mine.  The names have been changed to protect the insane.
