:>I am able to get the net to work properly at speeds of 19200 and
:>lower.  I am also able to get the net to work for a limited time at
:>31250.  Dnet connects fterm at 57600, but netmount will not function.
:This is exactly the behavior I have seen, and I mentioned it as such
:in my documentation for NET:.

	The Amiga gets overrun errors on anything above 19.2KBaud
    when you use serial.device ... custom midi drivers can go faster,
    and third-party add on serial boards which have on-board FIFOs
    can usually handle any rate.

	But with the internal serial port, anything above 19.2KBaud
    means the Amiga's rx interrupt can't handle the rate, gets 
    overruns (a MASSIVE number of overruns), the serial.device goes
    nuts and sometimes repeats parts of older buffers, and THIS 
    causes DNet to go kapoof.

       Realistically, 9600 or 19.2KBaud are as fast as you should run
    it.  Under 1.4 you ought to be able to run faster as many OS bugs
    (Disabling for too long a time) will be fixed.
