vt100 terminfo with padding for an actual vt100?

IIRC -- and I haven't had to write Commodore user port serial code in a
looooong time -- it's much like a 64 doing 2400bps on the user port, it's
just bitbanging it at a higher rate instead of using the Kernal, and at
2MHz. 4800bps is definitely achievable and considered stable. I suppose you
could overdrive it to 9600 and I've heard of it being done, but I've never
written such code myself.

When I used Kermit on my 128 as my means of Internet access, I had a
SwiftLink.

I would be very impressed to get 19.2k out of that!
