Time delay for physical movement of the print head is
the main reason
that termcap has entries for the number of NUL characters to insert
after carriage return. Not sure it is for the ASR 33, but when it takes
a while for the carriage to return to column 1, you have to insert NULs
to wait for it to be ready to print characters. If it takes 100ms to do
the return, that's still 10 characters of NUL needed...
I'm going to assume that's a typo :-) A single NUL at 110 baud,or
10cps, is 100ms.
