My excuse is I'm getting Word documents to work in a web mail
environment (Horde/IMP). With pictures too. Nearly there.

You shouldn't need any messing with setserial to get 115200 out of the
serial ports, and the ports should be perfectly capable of keeping up
with that speed. More is possible with add-on serial cards, some of
which have 16750 chips (64 byte FIFO as opposed to 16) and the option to
clock them four times faster, for 460kbit/sec. I don't know what the
3COM kit will support.

Paul.
