I bet TermKit would actually work awesome over 300 baud. The two-tier approach -- a backend that executes commands and a frontend that displays stuff -- is going to be pretty efficient (if you are only running the backend remotely). Well... perhaps the chattiness of something like filename completion will be a bit of a problem, but it'll still probably work better that more directly interactive systems because it's working with a more abstracted protocol than a terminal does.
