Well, I think it is still possible to run the COM0x-driver on another
COM-port. There ARE some people around having one COM-port to connect to
the local mini, and another COM-port for the modem. It is possible to use
CM for the mini communications, and a public communication program for the
modem... But still.... CM is worthless.

BTW, it was suggested to me to use "scroll ahead." Whenever you are about to scroll, look ahead in the input buffer for additional scrolls and scroll that many times at once. X uses this technique.
