Sending CR LF is independent of the CR delay requirements - the kernel

Make sure it
only prints 10 characters per second, then. (I think TTY's were
10 cps?) R-e-a-l-l-y s-l-o-w.
And don't forget that carriage-return takes longer than printing
individual
characters, so you need to send CR LF to give it time to get back to the
first column while it's feeding a line. Or CR CR LF just in case.
(Or was that the Olivetti terminal? Or the DECwriter? One of those
mechanical things anyway.)
