    Fix Telesoftware downloads from Glass TTY

    Sending the square before the frame finishes being received ends up
    not working "sometimes", which breaks downloads from Glass TTY.

    The original protocol spec says to wait until two seconds have passed
    since the last character to detect an end of frame before requesting
    the next one... this change does that wait.

    There may be a better way to detect end of frame, but I can't come
    up with one off-hand.

    First overhaul of CET Telesoftware

    Add a state struct, don't re-request initial frame (doesn't work on
    NXtel). Should likely update every second instead of every frame
    as long as there's a two-second delay between frames. :(

    Reduce frame timeout to 100ms

    Telestar 2.0 (used by Glass TTY and others) has a requirement for
    100ms between characters, which is why the original streaming mode
    didn't work. Reducing the inter-frame delay from two seconds to
    100 ms potentially makes downloads up to twenty times faster.

    For all other Prestel systems, us a minimal (1ms) delay betwen

    No need to punish all Prestel systems just because Telstar sometimes
    tosses out a # that arrives "too soon"

    Avoid the need for *00 at end of CET Telesoftware download

    Just buffer everything from the last clear-screen to the end of
    the transfer, then display it after the download.

    While we're here, clean up the error handling a bit, and complicate begin_download() to offset that.
