Yes.

In today's world of communication programs available under Unix (Xenix)
i think it is very reasonable when someone, who still insists to run a DOS
based communication program on top of Unix, still gets 2400 baud throughput.

There is a LOT of overhead involved in accessing devices, so you get what
you deserve.
