The QuickEd external message editor for QuickBBS was perfectly usable at 1200 baud. During screen repaint it gave priority to updating the current line so it was responsive and went back to repainting the screen as soon as you stopped typing. It would ensure that it does not have too much data in the output buffer to keep latency down.

I wrote it with my brother.
