Was this guy serious when he said the Amiga's serial port couldn't run above
19,200 baud??? Call him back and ask if he's ever seen EMIT. It's PD, and
allows two Amigas connected by serial cable to transfer files at 280,000 baud.
Something like 292,000 baud (Bits Per Second Guys :-)) is the theoretical
limit.... Granted the serial.device isn't as efficient as it could be, but
it's not the hardware end that's at fault.
