Hello, Willie!

You forgot ANSIterm - it supports 14.4 no sweat.  There is no need to set
the port to 19200 with most comms programs (ProTERM, ANSIterm, spectrum)
since they write to the firmware directly, totally ignoring the control
panel.  In fact, the only program I can think of that actually USED the
control panel was the AOL stuff..
