I have a serial line that can run 38400 baud but as far as I can tell,
the NeXT can only support up to 19200 baud.  I'm running kermit as a
serial line terminal program for logging in to the campus network and
would like to double my speed.

Even the lowly mac plus can handle 57600 baud.  Both machines use the
same Zilog Z8530 chip, so I don't see any obvious incapability on the
part of the NeXT machine.

Does anyone know how to add unsupported speeds? or if it is possible?

Also, I see in the 1.0a release UNIX man pages that slattach is documented
there, however there is no such command implemented.  In fact, this is
one command I would like very much to use.  So what is going on here?
Did someone forget something??
