Out of curiosity, how fast can you go? I think the default for my board is 115200, haven't tried going higher.

  115200 is out of reach for 80ies hardware. I ended up picking 9600 as standard for my retro stuff because that's the highest the IBM PC supports.

    Makes sense. Cheers

    9600 is what I remember from the terminals at school at that time, they had rooms of them for students, I think they went to a serial multiplexer of some sort in the room, then over ethernet to the host at the "computing center." Or maybe it was serial the whole way?

      Terminal concentrators, which is what they were called, are hardware that the world has largely forgotten about.

      When our work was mostly dumb terminals, they would have a db25 to "rj45" adapter, then using a plain cat5 cable to a box called a terminal server (we used xyplex). From the terminal server to the actual server was legit Ethernet, and we would address the terminals as a term-server-ip:port combination.
