Hello.

I notice that 1.2.0 (and 1.1.5, for that matter) is very slow when I access CompuServe with Tapcis via com1. Is there a way to speed that up?

That depends on what causes the slowdown. It is most likely just the hogthreshold, try executing "speed 0" before starting your program, or set the $_hogthreshold=(0) in your dosemu.conf.
If you feel like the problem is a serial port emulation itself, then your best bet would be to try upgrading from CVS, as the patch that speed up the serial port I/O was recently commited to HEAD.

Tremendous improvement with the 'speed 0' command! Thanks.
