I'd guess it's the program, because the speed of the link port largely
depends on how fast the software can handle it. ZShell routines like
CALL_ and JUMP_ spend much processor time, so they should be avoided in
time-critical routines like those that handle the link port. At some
stage, the link port hardware refuses to work on very high speeds, but
(according to Mel Tsai) you should still get much faster transfer speeds
than your 2500 bps. I think the maximum was over 30kbps...
