Well I did create HTERM for just this purpose... it implements
hardware flow control. It even discards annoying ANSI color escape
codes and allows you to disable scrolling to speed things up when that
is useful.

A full OptROM may or may not be necessary. HTERM is pretty small.

It does need a reliable file transfer implementation... xmodem would
be good, or some integration with TS-DOS. Also it could use a capture
mechanism.

Another possible solution is to squeeze HTERM into the main ROM,
possible replacing TELCOM.
