The library system in question is a bit archaic.
It used to work wonderfully with the 1200-baud-only modem... Well not
wonderfully, but you get the idea.
When they went to 2400, the system would drop charcters that I had
scripted in kermit. I had to set output pacing very high.
Later, when they announced internet access, I believe they mentioned that
they had added a serial-to-telnet device added on to the pre-existing
system.
I haven't used the system in quite a while. The scripting that I had was
MSKermit on a 486.
