It's client side... the SERVER sends it as fast as it likes, but the terminal
will not display characters faster than the set rate.  Just require the next
displayed character to be 1/bps seconds after the previous.

In practice, Win32 seems to be unable to do timing-based pacing faster than
19200 or so... but it does work.
