Had not realized that, and I speak Python, and would urge others to look at
it.  

So what kind of  utility (possibly update of some old clunker) needs to
written (rewritten) to run on modern windoz?

------------------
    Windows through Windows 7 will operate a classic serial port at 45 baud
5 bit just fine.  Here's the setup in Python:

self.ser = serial.Serial(port, baudrate=45, timeout=timeout,
                bytesize=serial.FIVEBITS,
                parity=serial.PARITY_NONE,
                stopbits=serial.STOPBITS_ONE_POINT_FIVE)

Windows 2000 through Windows 7 will work.  Linux doesn't handle non-standard
baud rates properly for historical reasons (it didn't work on the PDP-11).
