I doubt that. Deuce created an ANSI-like escape sequence that the BBS sends to
the terminal to control the display rate. It'd be quite a surprise if the
Lantronix box used the same method.

We might be able to query the current emulated display rate in SyncTERM from
the BBS, but that would only work with SyncTERM and only certain versions.
