@ireneista that's becaude when vi was made, a terminal @ 9600/8/N/1 was considered 'extremely fast' and any redraw on 80x25 with 9600bps is still very clearly visible…

• So you can imagine how painfully slow a 1200bps VT-100 or even 300bps VT-52 must've felt back in the days.

Like in 1976 being screen-oriented was the new hotness, because most systems still used teletypes exclusively (that's why #serial console got their name prefix tty and program from) and so changes could be more interactive on a terminal compared to ed

Today: Configurable modem connect speeds

The soft-modem’s reported connect speed can be customized using the serial port’s baud rate setting.

For example:

serial1 = modem baudrate:2400

Although this doesn’t change the underlying baud rate, it can help satisfy old modem software if it’s unable to handle (or parse) the larger connect values.
