Note that hardware flow control makes the bit banger a lot more reliable than it would be otherwise.

I had the bit banger connected to a compact printing terminal from DEC that ran at 300 baud and had an acoustic coupler so you could log into 300 baud services with nothing but the terminal. There was not a lot of risk that this device would overflow your buffers.
