The built-in serial interface of the Model 345 and 375 (as well as port 1 on
the Series 400s) supports data rates up to 460 Kbs, has a 16-byte FIFO and
supports CTS/RTS hardware flow control.  Pre-7.05 software to enable these
capabilities is available from me via your local HP support representative.
