As for having DOS Coax-attach products but not Xenix counterparts, we're
guilty as charged, though one could question the usefulness of a 1-session
CUT coax or even a 5 session DFT coax product for a multi-user system.

But coax doesn't appear to be the real issue; you seem to require speed, not
coax.  In fact, coax doesn't give you any speed:  you have to connect it to
a 3x74 controller, which in turn is usually connected to the host via SNA or
BSC.  Don't know exactly how a channel-attached controller would help your
file transfer.

Anyway, I'll be in touch, since we offer both 3270 IND$FILE file transfer
and RJE based file transfer (RJE is more suited to bulk file transfer), and
can run at 9600 baud with no problem.

Done.
